Identification testing was performed using the VITEK 2 automated analyzer system (bioMérieux, Marcy-l’Étoile, France) until 2013. From 2013 onward, the Bruker Biotyper matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) system was used for identification testing (Bruker Daltonics, Bremen, Germany). Susceptibility tests were performed using the VITEK 2 automated analyzer system with a VITEK AST2 N212 card (bioMérieux). The results of antibiotic susceptibility testing were interpreted using the criteria of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute17 .
Vitek 2 automated analyzer system
Manufactured by bioMérieux
Sourced in France
The VITEK 2 is an automated analyzer system used in clinical microbiology laboratories for the identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing of bacteria and yeast. The system streamlines the process of microbial analysis by automating various steps, including inoculation, incubation, and data collection. The VITEK 2 provides rapid and accurate results, enabling efficient decision-making in patient care.

Identification testing was performed using the Vitek 2 automated analyzer system (bioMérieux, Marcy l'E'toile, France) until 2013. The Bruker Biotyper matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) system (Bruker Daltonics, Bremen, Germany) was introduced in 2013 and used for identification testing from 2013 onwards. All susceptibility testing was performed using the Vitek 2 automated analyzer system with a VITEK AST2 N212 card (bioMérieux). Antibiotic susceptibility was interpreted using the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) criteria [16 ].
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
