Abstract
Mucormycosis is found in co-infection with bacteria in >50% of the cases. Most of these cases were reported among people with haematological diseases. The two most frequent bacteria found were Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Almost 40% of the identified bacteria were reported as multidrug resistant.
