Abstract Background Correctly identifying anaerobic bloodstream infections (BSIs) is difficult. However, a new technique, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), enables more accurate identification and appropriate treatment. Anaerobic BSIs identi...
