Most bacteria, including many bacterial pathogens, are surrounded by an outer protective layer of sugar molecules, known as a capsule. This primarily protects the bacteria from environmental ...

The first large-scale genetic study of E. coli's protective armor has identified the five capsule types that are responsible for 70% of all multidrug-resistant bloodstream infections in Europe.

The probiotic industry is worth US$112 billion. But if you knew what was actually inside that capsule, would you still buy it ...

Can a capsule of healthy gut bugs change the future of obesity treatment? New findings from the University of Auckland’s Liggins Institute suggest it might. Eight years ago, 87 obese adolescents took ...

If our immune system cannot cope with a bacterial infection, antibiotics help. However, more and more bacteria are becoming resistant to treatment. The number of deaths resulting from this worldwide ...

“Many bacteria are not naked, but rather well-packaged – with a protective shell made of a dense network of sugar molecules that protects them from external environmental influences such as ...
