Abstract

Among the 2,683 yeast isolates representing 41 different species (25 Candida and Candida-related species and 16 non-Candida yeast species) collected in the National China Hospital Invasive Fungal Surveillance Net (CHIF-NET) program (2012 to 2013), the Bruker Biotyper MS matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) system exhibited significantly higher accuracy rates than the Vitek MS system for identification of all yeast isolates (98.8% versus 95.4%, P <0.001 by Pearson's chi-square test) and for all Candida and Candida-related species isolates (99.4% versus 95.5%, P < 0.001).
