1 MALDI-TOF MS: a new tool to rapidly assess antibiotic susceptibility Sören Schubert, MD Max von Pettenkofer-Institut Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU) Munich, Germany Learning Objectives After this presentation, you should know the principles of MALDI-TOF MS and its application in identification of microorganisms be able to identify and to trace the development of MALDI-TOF MS for the -lactamase activity testing of bacteria record and compare facts about different approaches using MALDI-TOF MS for comprehensive antibiotic resistance testing be able to identify the pros and cons of using MALDI- TOF MS for resistance testing in diagnostic laboratory and will retrace possible future perspectives MALDI-TOF MS MALDI Biotyper Bruker Daltonics Vitek MS biomérieux 1

Conclusion (3) Phenotypic resistance test (MBT-RESIST / MBT-ASTRA) Rapid tests 2 3 h Automated analysis available Stable Isotopes: A rather complex workflow kits and cards are needed All bug-drug combinations analyzable? 14
