Abstract
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) was approved for medical use in 2011 and is currently used as a rapid, accurate and lowcost technique for bacterial identification. External quality control for medical analysis is monitored using tests of the Japanese Association of Medical Technologists and Prefectural Association of Clinical Laboratory Technologists and through user surveys of reagent and equipment manufacturers. However, external quality control of bacterial typing using MS is not performed. Therefore, we examined procedures for evaluating quality control of bacterial typing using an identification reliability index at 38 facilities.
