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.

“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 ...
