Degradation of host capsule during virus entry (kw:KW-1238)

Many cells are protected by a network of polysaccharides called glycocalyx. The glycocalyx (400 nm or more) layer protects the cell from hostile environments, and prevents viruses from reaching their entry receptor at the cell surface .
Bacterial viruses infecting encapsulated cell carry an exopolysaccharide (EPS) degrading enzymes as tailspike proteins in order to digest this sugar coat and reach the outer membrane or the peptidoglycan layer . The capsule can be composed of various EPS such as alginates, polysialic acids (PSAs), and hyaluronic acid (HA).
