Summary Introduction
To determine:
- A description of the bacteria in the actinomycete group, and explain what characteristics make them similar to
fungi . - Two common diseases caused by this group.
Introduction:

1. From Superficial, Cutaneous, and Subcutaneous fungi, how will you
differentiate these pathogens from Opportunistic and Systemic
mycoses based on the location of the fungal disease in the infected
individual?
2. What is the relevance of studying opportunistic and systemic fungi?
a. What characteristics make M. leprae different from other mycobacteria?b. Differentiate between tuberculoid and lepromatous leprosy.
1. Explain why clinical samples for mycobacterial isolation sometimes require digestion and decontamination procedures.
