Abstract
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) can misidentify Cutibacterium namnetense and Cutibacterium modestum as Cutibacterium acnes. We now describe how such MALDI-TOF MS misidentification explains previous reports of C. acnes isolates that could not be characterised using a multiplex PCR phylotyping assay.
