A simple empirical algorithm to distinguish among Leishmania braziliensis, major, and tropica species by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry

This work developed a simple empirical algorithm to distinguish three Leishmania species using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. It suggests that complicated computer algorithms may not always be necessary for clinically useful microbiology applications. •MALDI-TOF is a rapid method to identify microorga...
