Expansion of MALDI-TOF MS database as a strategy for identification of <i>Haemophilus</i> species other than <i>H. influenzae</i>
16S rRNA sequencing is a valuable method for the identification of <i>Haemophilus</i> sp. other than Hi. Expansion of the MALDI-TOF MS database, based on 16S rRNA sequencing results, increased the proportion of reliable identifications and in this study resulted in an increase of 10% of <i>Haemophilus</i> sp. other than Hi strain identifications.
