Answer 1

Answer:

opportunistic

Explanation:

A newly described fungus has been isolated from the lungs of several patients experiencing symptoms of pneumonia. All of these patients have a preexisting immunocompromising condition, including four patients with AIDS and two who have been recipient of organ transplants.The natural habitat of this fungal species is the soil This fungal disease would most likely be classified as an opportunistic mycosis, because the symptom which the patient experienced is pneumonia which is a symptoms of opportunistic mycosis. On the other hand, all the patient are immunocompromising, i.e., all of they have any immune disease prior to infection and the opportunistic mycosis is cause in the immunocompromising people rather than normal people. Lastly it is said that the natural habitat of the fungi which is responsible for the disease is soil, the fungi which cause opportunistic mycosis has also the natural habitat of soil. Thus, it is the correct option.
