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.

pathogenic -- Organism which causes a disease within another organism.
peat -- n. A deposit of partly decayed plant remains in a very wet environment; marsh or swamp deposit of plant remains containing more than 50 percent carbon.

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.

A few are pathogenic.
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.

NO has been portrayed as a pathogenic mediator during ischaemia-reperfusion, and inflammatory and septic tissue injury.

Evidence of horizontal gene transfer may be comparison with genomes from related nonpathogenic bacteria, or by flanking genes that suggest transfer via phage, conjugation, or transpositiion.
