∙ 12y agoA capsule are composed of polysaccharides or polypeptides that are mucoid and give cells a sticky outer surface. Capsules increase virulence of some organisms because they prevent desiccation, are able to stick to surfaces and provide a mechanism for attachment to tissue such as respiratory epithelial tissue in humans. Capsules are also slippery and often evade a human's immune system by avoiding phagocytosis from certain leukocytes.
