RE: Medical Microbiology, Salmonellae and Shigellae/ Microbiologia medica, Salmonelle e Shigelle
These are organisms we would isolate and send out to state lab. We do not do identification at the species level.
Another random fact: the MALDI-TOF generally cannot tell the difference between E. coli and Shigella. So, always check your cultures and other media before freaking out. Although, chances are, it's probably E. coli.
