Importance of Using Bruker's Security-Relevant Library for Biotyper Identification of Burkholderia pseudomallei, Brucella Species, and Francisella tularensis

Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is an ideal platform for rapid and accurate identification of bacteria in clinical microbiology ([1][1]). Expeditious and inerrant identification of potentially hazardous agents protects laboratory staff
