MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry has been applied with huge success to the identification of cultured microorganisms in clinical microbiology laboratories where it has become the reference method because it is simple, fast, and highly reproducible. We describe the different procedures used in the routine for pathogen identification using the Bruker MALDI Biotyper ® system.
