Microbe classification and identification criteria acquired using Gram staining versus SEM with MALDI-TOF/MS as a reference. Identification information (shape, cell wall, cell size, subgroup-specific feature, genus-specific feature) acquired for each of the species is indicated with a tick mark, missing information is indicated with a red cross. The total Scheme 100. artificial blood cultures inoculated with various Acinetobacter sp. and Enterobacteria. We were able to blindly identify 82% of the Acinetobacter according to the presence of these structures.
