Abstract

Opportunism in general is the practice of taking advantage of circumstances – sometimes when the opponent is weak. This opportunism is not only observed in human beings, but also in case of plethora of microorganisms that we are surrounded with externally as well as internally inside our body. These organisms take advantage of the opportunity and invade, multiply and mutate in side our body when our immune system is weak (immunosuppressed or immunocompromised) to cause life threatening diseases.
