Limitations of MALDI-TOF MS in identifying anaerobic bacteremia: challenges in polymicrobial infections and the role of whole-genome sequencing

ABSTRACT With the widespread use of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), the number of identifiable bacterial species has increased. However, anaerobic bacteremia remains challenging to accurately diagnose due to the diverse range of anaerobic...
