Direct identification of Mycobacterium species from liquid medium (MGIT) using FastPrep-2 bead beating system and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry technology: a comparison with solid media and PCR-based method
Using VITEK MS version 3.2 to directly identify MTB and NTM from MGIT liquid medium provides a rapid, cost-effective, and reliable method for identifying Mycobacterium species. Further optimization and database expansion are recommended to enhance accuracy for rare and less common mycobacterial species.
