Bacterial co-infections in mucormycosis in severely ill populations: an overlooked and complex challenge
Mucormycosis is found in co-infection with bacteria in >50% of the cases. Most of these cases were reported among people with haematological diseases. The two most frequent bacteria found were <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> and <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i>. Almost 40% of the identified bacteria were reported as multidrug resistant.
