Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The AsperGenius® assay is a multiplex real-time PCR test that allows the simultaneous detection of Aspergillus species and identification of the most common mutations in the Aspergillus fumigatus cyp51A gene conferring resistance (TR34/L98H and TR46/T289A/Y121F) by using melting curve analysis. Mixed infections with azole-resistant and susceptible A. fumigatus have rarely been described. METHODS: The...
