Abstract

Clinical microbiology deals with microorganisms and their interactions with humans. Among the various microbial species present in the environment, fungi are considered as versatile. Numerous fungal species live freely in the air, water, and soil, some cause infections in plants and a few are responsible for opportunistic and invasive infections in humans and animals. This book consists of five chapters that emphasize the role of fungi in human infections, their diagnosis, and prevention.
