Chapter 2, Problem 68TQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The effect of bacterial coat on the host cell.
Introduction:
Infection is a mechanism by which pathogenic organism invades the host cell, multiplies, grows, and produces toxic elements. Bacterial cells form a capsule-like structure thatis made up of polysaccharides that covers the cell wall. Glycosidic linkages between monosaccharides form these polysaccharides. The capsule/coat of Bacillus anthracis is made up of Poly–
