In severe cases‚ the fungus can penetrate through epithelial layers into deeper tissues‚ reach the blood stream and‚ from there‚ may cause life-threatening systemic infections Virulence attributes Virulence roles Adhesins (ALs family‚ Hwp1‚ Int1) Adhesion and colonization Hypha production Adhesion‚ invasion‚ tissue damage Extracellular hydrolytic enzymes (SAPs‚ PLb

The industrial biotechnology society usually accepts an informal divide between manufacturing and pharmaceutical biotechnology. An example would be that of company rising fungus to produce antibiotics‚ e.g. penicillin from the penicillium fungi. Some additional examples of branches of biotechnology are blue biotechnologies that deal with marine and a marine usage of biotechnology‚ but that is not very extensively used. When

Most of us think that ringworm is a parasite that lives in a close relationship with another organism‚ its host‚ and causes it harm. But no‚ ringworm is a common fungal infection of the skin and is not due to a worm or a parasite. It is characterized by rounded red spots on the infected skin. Ringworm is common to our pets and it is transferrable to humans whatever the age is but it is more common to children. When ringworm transmitted from animals to humans it is then an example of a zoonotic disease
