Masking the Pathogen: Evolutionary Strategies of Fungi and Their Bacterial Counterparts

Pathogens reduce immune recognition of their cell surfaces using a variety of inert structural polysaccharides. For example, capsular polysaccharides play critical roles in microbial survival strategies. Capsules are widely distributed among bacterial species, but relatively rare in eukaryotic micro...
