Bacteria, along with some fungi (mainly • • Candida spp.) and archaea (single-celled microorganisms), make up the normal human flora of the skin, mouth, gastrointestinal tract, conjunctiva, and vagina (lactobacilli). Infection causes lung disease but may also disseminate to involve the hematopoietic system, gastrointestinal tract, as well as skin and soft tissue. These morphological features are helpful in differentiating the zygomycetes from other fungal agents of infection that may be seen in cytologic specimens (Table 4 .5). Infection may involve virtually any organ including the lungs, skin, bones, and brain ( Fig. 4.15 ). Budding is characterized by a central yeast with multiple surrounding daughter buds, that morphologically resembles a "ship's wheel." Infection (paracoccidioidomycosis) is caused by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, typically found in Brazil and elsewhere in South America. Other species that cause human disease include C. ./cache/cord-016962-8vjaot6i.txt ./txt/cord-016962-8vjaot6i.txt
