question
A capsule that enhances the ability of the organisms to resist host defense mechanisms, such as complement-medicated killing in the bloodstream. This allows these organisms to grow to high numbers in the blood.
answer
...
question
This organism synthesizes a capsule containing both positive and negative charges. This capsule stimulates an immune response in the host that leads to intra-abdominal abscess formation.
