Comparison between rapid ID 32 strep system, MALDI-TOF and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis for the species identification of enterococcus spp. isolated form water (poster)

Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionisation–Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI–TOF MS) has increasingly been used for rapid and reliable identification of clinically relevant micro-organisms. The aim of this study was to establish the applicability of this technique in (drinking) water quality analysis.
