Rapid detection of porins by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry
The rapid and cost-efficient determination of carbapenem resistance is an important prerequisite for the choice of an adequate antibiotic therapy.A MALDI-TOF MS-based assay was set up to detect porins in the current study.A loss of the components of porin alone such as OmpK35/OmpK36 or together with the production of carbapenemases will augment the
