Score values of identification were ≥1.500 for 200 (98.5%) bottles, ≥1.700 for 195 (96.1%) bottles and ≥2.000 for 182 (89.7%) bottles. Moreover, 83.5% and 92% of the isolates were identified precisely to species and genus level with the lower cutoff score of 1.500. Using our protocol also helped identifying BSI pathogens 18-24 h earlier compared to the sub-cultured colonies. CONCLUSION Using Bruker MALDI Biotyper for identification of isolates directly from positive VersaTREK blood culture bottles, our in-house saponin-based
