Abstract

Here in this article, we provide an overview of related terminologies, physiological factors and their mechanisms responsible for outbreak of mucormycosis. Mucormycosis indicate diseases caused by many non-septate filamentous fungal species earlier designated under mucorales and entomophthorales. Being present everywhere in soil, mucormycosis is exceptionally prevalent in waterlogged soil, putrescent plants and foods, excreta of birds and animals, air & water surrounding the buildings. Diverse set of exposures such as rise in the incidence of diabetes, immunosuppressant use and trial prophylaxis among immune compromised patients has been linked with the advent of mucormycosis outbreak.
