| description | Bacterial identification by MALDI-TOF (matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight) is a diagnostic test for identifying the specific organism(s) responsible for a bacterial infection. MALDI-TOF is a form of mass spectrometry that analyzes the proteins contained in an isolated bacterial colony. The resulting mass spectrum is compared to a reference database of bacterial protein mass spectra in order to identify the organism(s) present in the test sample. This term was created for, but is not limited in use to, the Bruker Daltonics MALDI Biotyper CA System, which is indicated for use in diagnosing Gram-negative bacterial infections. | |

| component | Bacteria | |
| property | Prid = Presence or identity: Prid stands for “Presence or identity”, is used for assays that detect whether or not an analyte of a particular kind is present, and if it is, to identify the specific analyte. | |
| time | Pt = Point in time: To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements. | |
| system | Isolate | |
| scale | Nom = Nominal: Nominal or categorical responses that do not have a natural ordering. (e.g., names of bacteria, reported as answers, categories of appearance that do not have a natural ordering, such as, yellow, clear, bloody. | |
