| Description | This study is focused on the isolation, characterization and identification of the most abundant microorganisms in superficial wounds of patients (n = 50) suffering from bacterial infection. Primarily, the identification of the strains was carried out through Matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) based on comparison of protein profiles (2-30 kDa) with database. Sanger sequencing of 16S bacterial gene was used for confirmation if the score was < 2. |
