The
hyaline molds can be grouped together by their morphological characteristics as well as the types of diseases they can cause. The following groups of hyaline molds have clinical significance:
- Mucorales (Zygomycetes)
- Entomophthorales
- Dermatophytes
- Opportunistic Mycoses
This course will not discuss the newly created phylum, Entomophthorales because they are all saprophytes which only rarely cause infection.
