Pathogenic bacteria commonly produce a thick, mucous-like, layer of polysaccharide. This "capsule" cloaks antigenic proteins on the bacterial surface that would otherwise provoke an immune response and thereby lead to the destruction of the bacteria.

Certain pathogenic RNAs, such as viroids and some satellite RNAs, are circular RNAs. They replicate by a rolling circle mechanism.
The long multi-unit RNAs cleave in vitro without the addition of cleavage enzymes.

Two examples:
Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the bacterium that causes gonorrhea. In the U.S., this is one of the most common sexually-transmitted diseases (STDs).

Scientists have identified more than one hundred species of pathogenic bacteria that can infect both humans and animals. As you might imagine, zoonoses (diseases that can be transmitted to humans from other vertebrate hosts) are harder to eradicate.

The first recognizes antigen-antibody complexes, the second spontaneously activates on contact with pathogenic cell surfaces, the third recognizes mannose sugars, which tend to appear only on pathogenic cell surfaces.
