Abstract

The MALDI Biotyper Selective Testing of Antibiotic Resistance-β-Lactamase (MBT STAR-BL) assay, which analyzes bacterial induced hydrolysis of cefotaxime using MALDI-TOF MS, correctly identified 100.0% of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae as positive and 94.7% of non-ESBL producers as negative in 80 strains tested.

Keywords: Antibiotic resistance; ESBL; MALDI-TOF MS.
