Rapid identification of Cardiobacterium hominis by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry during infective endocarditis.

abstract：:Adenovirus types 1, 2, and 3 can usually be isolated in only a short time, although occasionally it may take longer. This phenomenon has been explained empirically as being due to the viral load in the sample, although to date there has been no experimental confirmation of this. In this study we therefore tried to est...
