Evaluation of IR BIOTYPER® as a new tool for Enterobacter cloacae complex typing and its potential in management of nosocomial infections

Our study proposes FTIR as a powerful tool for typing of E. cloacae complex, specifically IR Biotyper<sup>®</sup>, offering high discriminatory power and providing results in a shorter time, compared to conventional methods. However, there is urgent need for standardization of cutoff values, which is a fundamental challenge to address in order to facilitate its use and extrapolation of results between laboratories.

Abstract

Our study proposes FTIR as a powerful tool for typing of E. cloacae complex, specifically IR Biotyper<sup>®</sup>, offering high discriminatory power and providing results in a shorter time, compared to conventional methods. However, there is urgent need for standardization of cutoff values, which is a fundamental challenge to address in order to facilitate its use and extrapolation of results between laboratories.
