Discrimination of micro-organisms using direct probe mass spectrometry.
Direct probe mass spectrometry of single colonies of different bacteria produced spectra which could be distinguished by calculations based on the intensities of 25 selected ions. Direct probe mass spectrometry has enormous potential as a rapid technique for characterizing micro-organisms.
