Abstract
A rapid preparation procedure was validated for MALDI-TOF MS identification followed by an antimicrobial susceptibility testing directly from a non-selective enrichment broth of sterile fluid samples associated with negative classical cultures. This method can be easily integrated in the laboratory routine allowing precious time gain for microbe identification and subsequent adequate treatment initiation.
