Thick polysaccharide capsules are important virulence assets for

The production of a polysaccharide capsule is widespread in pathogenic bacteria. ... This may increase the survival of encapsulated bacteria outside of the host, promoting the transmission of pathogenic bacteria from one host to another [4]. Mucoid isolates of E.

x = -6.5

explanation:

with this editor, you should be careful to put what you mean. 5/(2x - 7) = 3/(4x +14) is the way i will interpret it. cross multiply

5*(4x + 14) = 3*(2x - 7)       remove the brackets

20x + 70 = 6x - 21             add 21 to both sides

20x+ 70+21= 6x                 combine

20x + 91 = 6x                     subtract 20x

20x-20x+91=6x-20x           combine

91 = - 14x

x = - 91/14

x = - 6.5
