Liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS) has become a standard technology in metabolomics. In particular, label-free quantification based on LC-MS is easily amenable to large-scale studies and thus well suited to clinical metabolomics. Large-scale studies, however, require autom...
Staphylococcus aureus asymptomatically colonizes the nasal cavity and pharynx of up to 60% of the human population and, as an opportunistic pathogen, can breach its normal habitat, resulting in life-threatening infections. S. aureus infections are of additional concern for populations with impair...
