Polysaccharides are dominant features of most bacterial surfaces and are displayed in
different formats. Many bacteria produce abundant long-chain capsular polysaccharides …

Capsules are protective structures on the surfaces of many bacteria. The remarkable
structural diversity in capsular polysaccharides is illustrated by almost 80 capsular serotypes …

The increasing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria portends an impending
postantibiotic age, characterized by diminishing efficacy of common antibiotics and routine …

Extracellular and capsular polysaccharides (EPSs and CPSs) are produced by a wide range
of bacteria, including important pathogens of humans, livestock, and plants. These polymers …

Capsular polysaccharides (CPSs) are essential virulence determinants of many pathogenic
bacteria. Escherichia coli group 1 CPSs provide paradigms for widespread surface …

Bacterial capsules are surface layers made of long-chain polysaccharides. They are
anchored to the outer membrane of many Gram-negative bacteria, including pathogens …

Bacterial polysaccharides are usually associated with the outer surface of the bacterium.
They can form an amorphous layer of extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) surrounding the …

Capsular polysaccharides and exopolysaccharides play critical roles in bacterial survival
strategies, and they can have important medical and industrial applications. An immense …

Bacterial capsules are formed primarily from long-chain polysaccharides with repeat-unit
structures. A given bacterial species can produce a range of capsular polysaccharides …

Polysaccharides are highly hydrated polymers composed of repeating single units
(monosaccharides) joined by glycosidic linkages. They can be homo-or heteropolymers and …
