Abstract
Creation of a database of MALDI-TOF reference spectral profiles with a high number of representatives associated with the performant MSI software enables substantial improvement in identification of E. cloacae complex members. Moreover, this online database is available through a free online MSI application (https://msi.happy-dev.fr/).
