identification of Nocardia spp. using two culture media and comparing direct smear and protein

Evaluation of VITEK MS IVD database V3.Zero for identification of Nocardia spp. utilizing two tradition media and evaluating direct smear and protein extraction procedures. We assessed the efficiency of the VITEK® MS IVD V3.Zero matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization – time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-ToF MS) V3.Zero database for the identification of Nocardia spp. as in […]
