Abstract: Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS)-based systems is a rapid and reliable method in identification of microorganism.With the improvement of identifiable fungal species spectrum,the application of MALDI-TOF MS systems have been introduced to identification of clinically pathogenic yeasts,yeast-like fungi,filamentous fungi and dermatophytes.

Key words: Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), identification
