ABSTRACT
Many studies have shown successful performance of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry for rapid yeast and mold identification, yet few laboratories have chosen to apply this technology into their routine clinical mycology workflow. This review provides an overview of the current status of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry for fungal identification, including key findings in the literature, processing and database considerations, updates in technology, and exciting future prospects. Significant advances toward standardization have taken place recently; thus, accurate species-level identification of yeasts and molds should be highly attainable, achievable, and practical in most clinical laboratories.
