Gratuitous arty image Welcome to baktron.net, the web source for identification of bacteria by Intact Cell Mass Spectrometry (ICMS) by MALDI-TOF (matrix assisted laser desorption time of flight mass spectrometry). By searching masses of the most abundant biomarker ions, information can be rapidly obtained on the species of bacterium. This information is to facilitate identification from cultured organisms, and is not meant for diagnosis or treatment of human disease. For bacteria not in the database, searching of protein databases can be performed (see Demeriv et al reference). All information is taken from peer-reviewed journals.
