ABSTRACT
(MALDI-TOF MS) has been used in clinical diagnostic laboratories for the identification of microorganisms. It has a relevant advantage compared to other methods in terms of speed to provide results, being an alternative for addressing restrictions in clinical diagnosis as it may replace or complement existing identification techniques. This is especially important because some rare microorganisms would be identified only by higher cost techniques which are not widely available, such as genetic sequencing. Thus, the present paper reports two cases in which uncommon microorganisms were identified effectively and quickly. (AU)
