Microbial Detection and Identification Using Mass Spectroscopy and Other Techniques

Description	Point of Contact	Link
The Clinical Microbiology Laboratory in the Department of Laboratory Medicine has developed two main approaches for microbial detection and identification: 1) Genome-based direct assays targeting viruses (e.g. respiratory viruses, EBV, HSV, CMV), fastidious bacteria (e.g. Borrelia, Legionella), fungi (e.g. Pneumocystis) and parasites (e.g. Toxoplasma, microfilaria) and 2) Mass spectrometry-based methods for organisms grown in culture (bacteria, yeasts, mycobacteria from plates or positive blood cultures).
