Abstract
We evaluated MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry to identify bacteria from biofilms. We compared three sample preparation procedures on biofilms grown in vitro. The extended direct transfer method was able to identify 13 isolates out of 18 (72%) at the species level and 15 out of 18 (83%) at the genus level.Keywords: Biofilm; Identification; MALDI-TOF MS
