Role of zinc in growth, stress response and virulence gene expression of pathogenic Mucorale <i>Rhizopus arrhizus</i>

2025-10-14

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> During COVID-19 pandemic, the cases of mucormycosis increased substantially, with rhino-orbito-cerebral form linked to uncontrolled diabetes being the predominant manifestation. Some clinical and epidemiological studies associated the usage of zinc supplements with the occurrence of COVID-19 associated mucormycosis, but experimental evidence remains limited. This study aimed to elucidate the imp...
