The results showed that men are more susceptible to infection than women, and adults are more susceptible than adolescents and children, and chronic diseases increased the incidence.The study showed an average ability of <em>Mucor</em> spp to produce hydrolytic enzymes, which makes it dangerous only for patients with low immunity. The study also showed that the fungus is resistant to antifungals except for fluconazole, amphotericin B, and ketoconazole, where the diameter of inhibition was 32, 14, and 10 mm, respectively.</p> Kadhim H.
