Mucormycosis also called as zygomycosis previously refers to several different diseases caused by infection with fungi belonging the order Mucorales. Rizopus species are most common causative organism. The infections life threatening. Risk factors such Diabetic Ketoacidosis and Neutropenia present in cases. During pandemic period of COVID-19 2 wave rhino orbital mucormycosis was commonly effect...

Mucormycosis is an opportunistic infection caused by the fungi of the Mucorales order of the class Zygomycetes. Gastrointestinal mucormycosis is an uncommon, fatal condition accounting for only 7% of the cases. We present the case of a gastroduodenal mucormycosis presenting as recurrent massive hematemesis. We report this case to alert clinicians of this rare but fatal condition and to encourag...

Siderophores are divided to 2 main structural groups: hydroxamates and catecholates (Drechsel et al. 1995). Hydroxamate siderophores are produced both by bacteria and fungi, while catecholates are reported to the produced only by bacteria (Messenger and Ratledge, 1985). A third group of siderophores the carboxylate (= complexone) type has been reported to be produced exclusively by fungi belong...

The order Mucorales comprises predominantly fast-growing saprotrophic fungi, some of which are used for the fermentation of foodstuffs but it also includes species known to cause infections in patients with severe immune or metabolic impairments. To inventory biodiversity in Mucorales ITS barcodes of 668 strains in 203 taxa were generated covering more than two thirds of the recognised species....
