ABSTRACT
This article summarizes recent advances in the application of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) to new areas of infectious diseases diagnostics. We discuss progress toward routine identification of mycobacteria and filamentous fungi and direct identification of pathogens from clinical specimens. Of greatest interest is the use of MALDI-TOF MS for identifying organisms from positive blood cultures and from clinical specimens such as urine. Last, We highlight some exciting new possibilities for MALDI-TOF MS phenotypic susceptibility testing for bacteria and yeast.
