MALDI-TOF AND ITS IMPORTANCE IN MEDICAL MICROBIOLOGY
Keywords:
MALDI-TOF, mass-spektrometriya, tibbiy mikrobiologiya, mikroorganizmlarni identifikatsiya qilish, klinik diagnostika, bakteriyalar, tezkor laboratoriya tahlillari, antibiotikga chidamlilik.Abstract
MALDI-TOF (Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight)
mass spectrometry is one of the advanced
technologies widely used in modern laboratory diagnostics. This method allows for rapid and accurate identification of microorganisms. The introduction of MALDI-TOF technology in medical microbiology plays an important role in increasing the speed and accuracy of clinical
diagnostics and combating antibiotic resistance.
The article provides detailed information about the principle of operation of MALDI-TOF technology, its advantages, areas of application
and practical significance in medical microbiology.
