Fungi are eukaryotic microbes that are highly ubiquitous in the environment, and although most strains do not cause disease in humans, there are approximately 300 types of mycoses (fungal infections) that are of relevance to clinicians. For this discussion board, perform research to determine a mycosis of clinical interest and provide the information for your selected disease below (see 1-6). Scientific Name of the Fungus (should be italicized) Name of the mycotic infection How the disease is transmitted (or source of the infection) Patient symptoms & site of infection Is this an opportunistic infection, a nosocomial infection, or a community-acquired infection? (Explain your logic)
