title: Comparative evaluation of Bruker Biotyper and BD Phoenix systems for identification of bacterial pathogens associated with urinary tract infections.
abstract: The Bruker Biotyper and BD Phoenix systems were evaluated for identification of 1,024 bacterial urinary tract isolates. The Biotyper and Phoenix systems correctly identified 99.9% and 99.5% to the genus level and 99.1% and 98.5% to the species level, respectively. Both systems provide reliable results, and the Biotyper system offers a rapid tool for urine bacterial isolate identification.
