Bruker MS with urine preparation by NaOH-HCl neutralization provides a simple, cost-effective, and accurate method for identifying uropathogens directly from urine. Using Bruker MS when single morphotype Gram staining and the UF-1000i count as ≥106 bacteria/mL may improve the efficiency of bacterial identification in routine practice.
