Abstract
Identification of moulds is crucial for the clinical management of patients. The goal of this study was to evaluate the new ID-FUNGI plate (IDFP) for the identification of moulds by MALDI Biotyper. IDFP was compared with Sabouraud with gentamicin and chloramphenicol plate (SAB) for the identification of 80 moulds from respiratory samples and eight reference strains. With the direct transfer method, species identification rose from 6% with SAB to 68% with IDFP using score cut-off 2 and from 20 to 75% using cut-off 1.7 (p < 0.001). Our study highlights that the new IDFP improves mycological diagnostic and workflow in laboratories.Entities:
