In rare cases, it can prompt a deadly infection called Zygomycosis, which causes your blood to clot and can ultimately starve your cells of oxygen to the point that they die.

在一些罕见的情况中，它会引起一种致命的感染，叫接合菌病。得这种会使你的血液凝结，最终让你的细胞因氧而死。

In a paper published in Nature Communications in April, Tiago Costa, a bacteriologist at Imperial College London, reported that conjugative pili, hair-like filaments that bacteria use to exchange genetic information, can likewise be repurposed to bind them together.

在今年4月发表于《自然通讯》的一篇论文中，伦敦帝国理工院的细菌家蒂亚戈·科斯塔报告称，细菌换遗传信息的类似头发的细丝——接合菌毛，也可以被重新利将它们黏合在一起。
