MICROSCOPIC FUNGI: STRUCTURE, TYPES, AND DISEASE-CAUSING PROPERTIES
Abstract
This work examines the structure, main types, and disease-causing properties of microscopic fungi. Microscopic fungi are widely distributed eukaryotic organisms in nature and include molds, yeasts, and dimorphic fungi. The study analyzes their morphological structure, reproduction methods, and the fungal infections they cause in the human body. In addition, the main representatives of pathogenic fungi and their medical significance are discussed. The results of the research are of important scientific and practical value in the prevention and treatment of fungal diseases.
