Mucor is a genus of fungi commonly found in soil, plants, decaying organic matter, and indoor environments. These fungi belong to the phylum Mucoromycota and are characterized by their rapid growth and ability to produce large quantities of asexual spores called sporangiospores. Mucor species are often opportunistic pathogens, meaning they primarily infect individuals with weakened immune systems or underlying health conditions. Mucormycosis, the infection caused by these fungi, can manifest in various forms depending on the site of infection. Rhinocerebral mucormycosis affects the sinuses and brain, while pulmonary mucormycosis affects the lungs. Other types include cutaneous mucormycosis (skin) and gastrointestinal mucormycosis. |
