Still time to register
We speculate that when the capsule is added (exogenously) to a culture, it can bind antimicrobial peptides (AMPs).
Such sequestration titers AMPs in the media, effectively diluting it & ⤴️⤴️ tolerance, as more compound is required to obtain the same killing effect.
But when the capsule is bound to the cell surface (native form), it facilitates the entry of the AMPs as it retains AMPs near the cell surface where it can easily bind to the LPS, & ⤴️⤴️ susceptibility.
