Identification by Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization –Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry and Antifungal Susceptibility Testing of Non-Aspergillus Molds

In conclusion, a favorable performance of the Bruker MALDI-TOF MS in identification of clinical non-Aspergillus isolates directly inoculated on solid agar media could be achieved with the adoption of alternative interpretation criteria. Antifungal susceptibility testing is important for non-Aspergillus molds, especially when information on triazole susceptibility is required, and the Sensititre YeastOne is a practical and reliable method to determine antifungal susceptibilities of non-Aspergillus molds.
