Mycobacteria Library MALDI Biotyper ® Innovation with Integrity

The genus Mycobacterium includes, as major groups, the important pathogens of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) and the nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). Members of the latter group are cited increasingly as the cause for opportunistic infections among immuno-compromised patients. This trend and the rise of antibiotic resistance in this genus demand improved differentiation among Mycobacteria species. The Mycobacteria Library 3.0 is a major step forward in Bruker’s commitment to cover the natural variability of Mycobacterium species. Hundreds of new reference strains have been added...
