3. Fig. 2
Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry of (a) Staphylococcus hominis subsp. novobiosepticum, (b) Staphylococcus hominis subsp. hominis, (c) Staphylococcus capitis subsp. capitis and (d) Staphylococcus capitis subsp. urealyticus, showing the differences among the subspecies. The absolute intensities of the ions are shown on the y-axis, and the masses (Da) of the ions are shown on the x-axis. The m/z value represents the mass to charge ratio.
