In present study starch hydrolyzing, non-toxigenic fungi were identified as Aspergillus, Penicillium, Fusarium,
Zygomycete, Actinomycete, Phaeoids and some remained unidentified.
Molecular tools for identification of
zygomycetes and diagnosis of zygomycosis.
To develop cutaneous zygomycosis breach of skin is essential for the
zygomycetes to enter, as intact cutaneous barrier serves as structural defense against tissue invasion.

zygomycetesIn 2000, Kontoyiannis et al suggested that a respiratory culture positive for a
zygomycete was typically associated with a steady decline to rapid death.
As recently underlined (25), a culture positive with a
zygomycete does not always mean infection; many gastrointestinal cases reported in the PMSI may be false-positive cases resulting from laboratory contamination.
Cokeromyces recurvatus is an uncommonly encountered dimorphic
zygomycete in the order Mucorales that was first described in 1950.
Examination by microscopy showed nonseptate sterile hyphae typical of a
zygomycete. The fungal isolate was sent to the National Reference Center for Mycology and Antifungals at the Institut Pasteur, Paris.
In tissue and in culture, clinically significant
zygomycete hyphae can often be distinguished from other invasive hyaline molds by their greater width and obtuse branching pattern[1,4,5] A term often used by surgical pathologists and frequently encountered in the literature, aseptate, is also ascribed to the
zygomycetes.
