2 mold multicellular filamentous
3 dimorphic fungi mostly pathogenic
Branching cylindrical tubules
Hyphe
Mass of interwined hyphe called
Mycelium

Parasitic form seen in
Tissu, exudates, or enriched media at 37
Seen as yeast
In nature or if grown at 25 exis as
Mold (mycelia)
Why it’s difficult to make antimycotic therapy
Because drugs that inhabit the synthesis of DNA and RNA or protein in fungal may have the same effect on human cells
