Fungi tends to prefer temperatures that are below human body temperature, and to be in darker and moister areas than many tissues in the human body. Without a compromised immune system or other debilitation of the human, fungi generally are not able to survive in humans or cause an infection.
Primary Pathogens are the microorganisms that cause diseases in healthy individual. Opportunistic Pathogens are the microorganisms that are ordinarily in contact with the host and cause disease when the host's resistance is low.

Bacteria and viruses that cause illness are known as pathogens.
Pathogens
Pathogens are microorganisms that can cause disease in a healthy host, whereas opportunistic organisms are typically harmless, but can cause infection in hosts with weakened immune systems. Pathogens are generally more virulent and cause disease more readily than opportunistic organisms.
They are called opportunistic pathogens.
Growth of opportunistic pathogens would increase.

Some examples of phylum Deuteromycota include Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Candida. These fungi are commonly known for their role in food spoilage and as opportunistic pathogens in humans.
No, these are caused by opportunistic pathogens which take advantage of a suppressed immune system, regardless of what causes that suppression. eg, malnutrition, exhaustion, immunosuppressant drugs for transplant recipients, Cancer patients receiving chemotherapy, genetic predisposition, pregnancy. The list could go on and on.

Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs that can be caused by various pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi, typically affecting healthy individuals. Opportunistic pneumonia, on the other hand, occurs in individuals with weakened immune systems or underlying health conditions, allowing normally harmless microorganisms to cause infection. This type of pneumonia is often associated with specific pathogens, such as Pneumocystis jirovecii in people with HIV/AIDS. Thus, the key difference lies in the health status of the patient and the organisms involved.
Yes, normal microbial flora can become virulent or pathogenic if the conditions are right. On outside of body normal flora is harmless, if it was to be ingested it would take the opportunity to do as much damage as possible.
