Oligonucleotides and methods for using these oligonucleotides in the detection of Aspergillus fumigatus are disclosed. Aspergillus fumigatus is the causative agent for medical conditions including invasive aspergillosis. The oligonucleotides of the invention have nucleotide sequences derived from the gene encoding the cytochrome P450 14 alpha-sterol demethylase (i.e., the Cyp51A protein) of Aspergillus fumigatus. The oligonucleotides of the invention include forward primers and reverse primers which in combination are capable of priming the synthesis of amplicons specific to cyp51A in polymerase chain reactions using nucleic acids isolated from Aspergillus fumigatus as templates. The oligonucleotides of the invention also include probes capable of detecting these cyp51A-specific amplicons. Thus, a biological sample is tested for the presence of Aspergillus fumigatus by isolating nucleic acid from the sample, conducting a polymerase chain reaction in a mixture containing this nucleic acid and these forward and reverse primers, and then determining, using an oligonucleotide probe, whether an amplicon is produced in the mixture, wherein detection of the amplicon indicates the presence of Aspergillus fumigatus in the sample. The oligonucleotides of the invention also include primers for nucleotide sequencing reactions to determine whether an isolate of Aspergillus fumigatus is more tolerant than wild-type Aspergillus fumigatus to a triazole, which is a compound commonly used as an antifungal drug. Specifically, a strand of a cyp51A-specific amplicon is at least partially sequenced using a nucleotide sequencing primer in a primer extension reaction. Identification of mutations giving rise to amino acid substitutions at positions 54, 138, 220, and 448 of the amino acid sequence of the wild-type Cyp51A protein indicates that the isolate of Aspergillus fumigatus from which the amplicon is derived exhibits decreased susceptibility to at least one triazole.
