Accurate differentiation of Mycobacterium chimaera from Mycobacterium intracellulare by MALDI-TOF MS analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: We have developed a model for the accurate identification of M. chimaera and M. intracellulare by MALDI-TOF MS. This approach has the potential for routine use in microbiology laboratories, as the model itself can be easily implemented into the software of the currently available systems by MALDI-TOF MS manufacturers.
