Assessing impact of MALDI mass spectroscopy on reducing directed antibiotic coverage time for Gram-negative organisms

The objective of this study was to assess whether use of matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF), through improvements in identification time, reduces time to directed antibiotic coverage. We therefore conducted a retrospective review of 377 blood cultures from hospita...
