Key Points

The primary aim is to enhance the accuracy of microbial identification using MALDI-TOF MS through a custom spectral library.
Created an in-house spectral library for microbial identification using MALDI-TOF MS.
Conducted a comparative analysis of identification accuracy before and after implementing the spectral library.
Assessed performance in a controlled pharmaceutical manufacturing environment.
Significantly improved identification accuracy from 75% to 90% post-library implementation, P<0.001.
Reduced identification time by 30%, enhancing operational efficiency.
Achieved consistent results across multiple microbial species tested.
