A multi-center ring trial for the identification of anaerobic bacteria using MALDI-TOF MS Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Identification of mould isolates by Maldi-tof mass spectrometry: clinical evaluation of an extended reference spectra library Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Validation of MALDI-TOF MS Biotyper database optimized for anaerobic bacteria Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Within the ENRIA project, several 'expertise laboratories' collaborated in order to optimize the identification of clinical anaerobic isolates by using a widely available platform, the Biotyper Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Main Spectral Profiles (MSPs) of well characterized anaerobic strains were added to one of the latest updates of the Biotyper database db6903; (V6 database) ...
MALDI-TOF MS profiling of non-starter lactic acid bacteria from artisanal cheeses of the Greek island of Naxos Universiteit Gent
Application of MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry for the detection of enterotoxins produced by pathogenic strains of the Bacillus cereus group Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek Universiteit Gent
Detection of beta-lactamase production in clinical Prevotella species by MALDI-TOF MS method Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Penicillins, can be used in treatment of infections due to Prevotella species if they are susceptible to penicillin. Early and accurate preliminary detection of β-lactamase-producing isolates is crucial for treatment of infection. The aim of this study was to determine β-lactamase-producing Prevotella species by MALDI-TOF MS and screen them for the presence of cfxA gene, responsible for β-lactamase production. A total of 500 clinically ...
Bacterial species identification using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and machine learning techniques : a large-scale benchmarking study Universiteit Gent
Using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry to identify ticks collected on domestic and wild animals from the Democratic Republic of the Congo Universiteit Antwerpen
The optimization and validation of the Biotyper MALDI-TOF MS database for the identification of Gram-positive anaerobic cocci Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Gram-positive anaerobic cocci (GPAC) account for 24%-31% of the anaerobic bacteria isolated from human clinical specimens. At present, GPAC are under-represented in the Biotyper MALDI-TOF MS database. Profiles of new species have yet to be added. We present the optimization of the matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) database for the identification of GPAC. Main spectral profiles (MSPs) ...
