Metagenomic insights into fungal community composition of the nasopharyngeal region of Covid associated mucormycosis patients from India

Covid-associated mucormycosis (CAM) was reported predominantly from India during the second wave of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which has a high mortality rate. The present study aims to understand the fungal community composition of the nasopharyngeal region of CAM infected individuals and compare it with severe COVID-19 patients, the administration of steroids during COVID-19, and healthy controls.
