Abstract
Provided herein are methods, kits and compositions to classify fungi. Methods are provided for classification of fungi according to established phenotypes, for example, antimicrobial susceptibility profiles. More specifically, the invention provides methods for the use of PNA probes in diagnostic applications, which will aid in the direction of appropriate therapy against fungi.

A peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probe consisting of the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 17.
A reagent for classification of fungi comprising the peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probe consisting of SEQ ID NO:17 and optionally at least one detectable moiety, wherein the reagent is used to determine at least one fungal drug susceptibility-type.
A kit for selecting antifungal therapy, comprising the peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probe consisting of SEQ ID NO:17 and optionally at least one detectable moiety and instructions for use.
