Review Description

The introduction of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) has revolutionized infectious disease diagnostics over the past decade. In this review, we will first explore the history of how the once disparate fields of mass spectrometry (MS) and clinical microbiology inextricably merged. We will then review the rapid growth as well as current applications of MALDI-TOF MS in clinical microbiology. In the accompanying review, we will discuss some of the exciting and emerging applications of MS in pathogen detection, identification, and characterization.
