Q

What are the 4 functions of Capsule? (EACD)

A
  1. Enhances bacterial virulence by inhibiting phagocytosis.
  2. Acts as protective covering against antibacterial substances such as, bacteriophages, phagocytes, enzymes etc.
  3. Capsule antigen is specific for bacteria and can be used for identification and typing of bacteria
  4. Diagnostic importance
