Bacterial Capsules

More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: An envelope of loose gel surrounding a bacterial cell which is associated with the virulence of pathogenic bacteria. Some capsules have a well-defined border, whereas others form a slime layer that trails off into the medium. Most capsules consist of relatively simple polysaccharides but there are some bacteria whose capsules are made of polypeptides.  DF: BACT CAPSULES    Other names Capsules, Bacterial; Capsule, Bacterial; Bacterial Capsule
