Real-time PCR test
The Fungiplex®Aspergillus Azole-R PCR IVD Kit is a real-time PCR test which identifies the most common mutations of the Cyp51 gene associated with resistance to the azole class of antifungal drugs.
Azole antifungal drugs are the primary option for the prophylaxis and treatment of invasive aspergillosis. Resistance to azoles inAspergillus fumigatusis emerging as a global health problem, through both the use of azoles in the environment and the prolonged use in the management of patients with invasive aspergillosis.
Delayed diagnosis, and limited treatment options for azole-resistant invasive aspergillosis results in poor patient outcomes, with mortality reported as high as 88%¹. Early detection of resistance is crucial to ensure patients receive effective treatment quickly.

Resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus is caused by known mutations of the Cyp51 gene that threaten the role of the azole class of antifungals. The most common of these mutations, and their associated amino acid substitutions, are:
Bruker’s Fungiplex®Aspergillus Azole-R PCR IVD Kit assay is a real-time PCR designed to detect the presence of these TR 34 and TR46 mutations in the Cyp51 gene of A. fumigatus.
The Fungiplex®Aspergillus Azole-R PCR IVD Kit can be used as a companion test with Fungiplex Aspergillus and has been designed to run on the same conditions.
The Fungiplex®Aspergillus Azole-R PCR IVD Kit can be used alongside Fungiplex Aspergillus for an early indication of azole resistance in high risk patients, or in patient samples testing positive for Aspergillus with the Fungiplex Aspergillus PCR. The kits are sold separately to allow flexibility of testing and efficient use of the Fungiplex Aspergillus assays.
