Zygomycosis is the broadest term to refer to infections caused by bread mold fungi of the zygomycota phylum. However, because zygomycota has been identified as polyphyletic, and is not included in modern fungal classification systems, the diseases that zygomycosis can refer to are better called by their specific names: mucormycosis [1] (after Mucorales), phycomycosis [2] (after Phycomycetes ...
Subcutaneous zygomycosis (also known as "entomophthoromycosis basidiobolae", subcutaneous phycomycosis, and basidiobolomycosis) [5] [3] [4] is a both human and non-human animal disease or lesion caused by the granulomatous infection of subcutaneous tissue by B. ranarum. [5]
A mature sporangium of a Mucor sp. fungus. Usually, zygomycosis is a disease of the skin, but can also occur in the sinuses or gastrointestinal tract. In humans, it is most prevalent in immunocompromised patients (human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome [HIV/AIDS], the elderly, severe combined immunodeficiency [SCID], etc.) and patients with acidosis (i.e., diabetes ...
Zygomycota, or zygote fungi, is a former division or phylum of the kingdom Fungi.The members are now part of two phyla: the Mucoromycota and Zoopagomycota. [1] Approximately 1060 species are known. [2]
Saksenaea vasiformis usually causes cutaneous or subcutaneous zygomycosis, but can also cause primary sinusitis and rhinocerebral disease. [1] Cutaneous diseases by S. vasiformis present red blisters. [13] with necrotic ulcers [14] or raised red to purple lesions. [15]
Mucormycosis, also known as black fungus, [3] [4] is a severe fungal infection [11] that comes under fulminant fungal sinusitis, [12] usually in people who are immunocompromised. [9] [13] It is curable only when diagnosed early. [12] Symptoms depend on where in the body the infection occurs.
Rhizopus stolonifer is commonly known as black bread mold. [1] It is a member of Zygomycota and considered the most important species in the genus Rhizopus. [2] It is one of the most common fungi in the world and has a global distribution although it is most commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions. [3]
