Identification of a MALDI-TOF MS peak associated with bla KPC. Presence of the 11,109-Da peak in KPC-carrying K. pneumoniae isolate mass spectrum (fuchsia) and absence of an 11,109-Da peak in a K. pneumoniae non KPC-carrying isolate mass spectrum (green), respectively. This specific peak could be a helpful real-time marker in epidemic strain detection in a hospital setting
