In contrast, the direct colony method allowed the identification of only 11 (18%) lactobacilli at the genus level and 4 (6.6%) at the species level. The on-plate extraction method was statistically (P ≤ 0.0001) more efficient since 59 (96.7%) lactobacilli were identified at the genus level and 51 (83.6%) at the species level. MALDI Biotyper can efficiently identify Streptococcus salivarius regardless of the preparative method but on-plate extraction is superior to direct colony method for the identification of lactobacilli.
