Evaluation of the Performance of ASTA MicroIDSys, a Novel Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry System, in Identification of Bacterial Clinical Isolates

Original article Changseung Liu1*, Eunjung Lee2*, Dokyun Kim1, Seok Hoon Jeong1 1Department of Laboratory Medicine and Research Institute of Bacterial Resistance, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, 2Department of Clinical Pathology, Sangji University College of Science, Wonju, Korea *These authors contributed equally to this work. Corresponding to Dokyun Kim, E-mail: kyunsky@yuhs.ac Ann Clin Microbiol 2020;23(3):135-148. https://doi.org/10.5145/ACM.2020.23.3.3Received on 31 January 2020, Revised on 10 April 2020, Accepted on 10 April 2020, Published on 20 September 2020.Copyright © Korean Society of Clinical Microbiology. Abstract Background: We evaluated the performance of ASTA MicroIDSys (ASTA, Korea) and Bruker Biotyper (Bruker Daltonics, Germany) systems in the identification of bacterial isolates from clinical microbiology laboratory specimens during the study period. In addition, species for which the identification accuracy using MALDI-TOF MS systems was previously reported to be poor were also identified by comparing the MS results with those obtained using molecular identification. Methods: A total of
