PathoNostics offers a range of diagnostic real-time PCR kits for the detection of fungal infections. The company currently have five products on the market: AsperGenius®, DermaGenius®, PneumoGenius®, MucorGenius® and CandidaGenius^®.
‍

At PathoNostics, the objective is to rapidly detect the disease-causing fungus and simultaneously identify antifungal resistance, allowing clinicians to initiate a dedicated and timely therapy and save on costs and lives. By using these real-time PCR kits, incorrect or unnecessary medical treatment, side effects, and costs can be avoided. The early diagnosis of fungal infections can greatly improve the clinical success and infection control.

CandidaGenius®

Candida auris has emerged as a formidable global health threat due to its multi-drug resistance. As the incidence of Candida auris steadily increases and considering its difficulty to diagnose, treat and eradicate, the need for effective screening implementation is evident. Molecular methods, which are both sensitive and specific, would allow for an easy, low-cost and accurate way to identify Candida auris in a clinical setting.

DermaGenius®

Dermatophytes represent the most numerous and widespread group of all mycoses and have the capacity to invade keratinized tissue of humans and animals to facilitate infections that are generally restricted to the corneocytes of the skin, hair and nails. Dermatophytes are classified in three genera: Epidermophyton, Microsporum and Trichophyton.

PneumoGenius®

Pneumocystis pneumonia, a (major) opportunistic infection in immunocompromised patients, is caused by the fungus Pneumocystis jirovecii (P. jirovecii). The incidence of Pneumocystis pneumonia, which increased dramatically with the advent of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, has decreased in the industrialized world owing to the widespread use of sulfa drug prophylaxis and the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). However, P. jirovecii remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality in HIV/AIDS patients, as well as in non-HIV immunocompromised patients, in whom its diagnosis is difficult.
