NEW YORK (360Dx) –Bruker has developed a new workflow for its MALDI Biotyper clinical microbiology platform aimed at speeding identification and treatment selection of bloodstream infections.
Named the Bologna workflow after the University Hospital, Policlinico Sant'Orsola-Malpighi, Bologna, where it was developed and initially implemented, the method combines microbial identification from positive blood cultures with testing for resistance to cephalosporin and carbapenem antibiotics.
