Abstract
A novel approach to transport inactivated bacteria in filter paper for identification in the MALDI-TOF MS was evaluated. Seventy four bacterial isolates were evaluated and the approach presented sensitivity of 97.3% and specificity of 100%. Inactivated bacteria in filter paper are a safer alternative to transport bacteria for MALDI-TOF MS identification.Keywords: Filter paper; MALDI-TOF MS; Transport bacteria
