To access factors associated with cutaneous colonization of mucormycetes in diabetic and non-diabetic individuals. From 200 participants (100 diabetics and 100 non-diabetics) 800 swab samples collected from four different body sites (forehead, nasal, hand and feet). Fungal isolation, identification and sensitivity tests performed. Overall, 12.0% of people had mucormycetes colonization, with diabetics having an 11 times greater colonization rate than non-diabetics. The most typical fungal isolates were Mucor spp. and Rhizopus spp. The majority of the isolates were resistant to Itraconazole; however, Amphotericin B was sensitive to all isolates. Between participant occupation and fungal colonization, a statistically significant difference (p |
