I had 10 bags each bag had 3 slices of apple and 3 pieces of bread, 5 bags where left in a dark warm place and 5 where left in a bright warm place. 2 bags were control bags, 2 contained the fruit/bread and 1 tsp of vinegar, 2 contained fruit/bread and 1 tsp of water, 2 contained fruit/bread and 1 tsp of lemon juice, and 2 contained fruit/bread and 1 tsp of sugar water.

Each is infected with Streptococcus pneumoniae. Patient A's infection progresses to pneumonia while Patient B's infection resolves quickly. The microbial stain of the lung fluid from Patient A indicated the bacterial cells had a capsule, while Patient B's lung fluid stain did not. Why did the capsule affect the course of the infection in Patient A?arrow_forward
