Abstract

Due to the extensive administration of antibiotics, corticosteroids, various immunosuppressive and antitumoral agents, the normal body flora is altered and thus susceptibility to infections is enhanced. Many bacteria and particularly opportunistic fungi are the major causative agents in such infections.
