MALDI-TOF MS Biomarkers for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Detection: A Systematic Review

Overall, MALDI-TOF MS is not only a powerful tool for the identification of bacterial isolates but also shows strong potential for rapid, cost-effective detection of methicillin resistance in S. aureus through biomarker analysis. Given that it is already implemented in several clinical laboratories, this approach could be adopted without significant additional cost.
