Evaluation of filter paper as a means to transport inactivated bacteria for identification using the MALDI-TOF MS system
A novel approach to transport inactivated bacteria in filter paper for identification in the MALDI-TOF MS was evaluated. Seventy four bacterial isolates were evaluated and the approach presented sensitivity of 97.3% and specificity of 100%. Inactivated bacteria in filter paper are a safer alternativ...

Summary: | A novel approach to transport inactivated bacteria in filter paper for identification in the MALDI-TOF MS was evaluated. Seventy four bacterial isolates were evaluated and the approach presented sensitivity of 97.3% and specificity of 100%. Inactivated bacteria in filter paper are a safer alternative to transport bacteria for MALDI-TOF MS identification.
•Inactive bacteria impregnated on filter paper reduces biological risks.•MALDI-TOF/MS system was able to identify bacteria impregnated on filter paper.•This is a simple and low cost alternative to transport bacteria for identification. |
