Why is the capsulated form of Streptococcus peneumoniae more virulent than the noncapulated form?
I believe all forms of strep pneumoniae are encapsulated. The polysaccharide capsule dictates the virulence factor and there are many different serotypes. Each type has a different prevalence and level of virulence, as well as different resistance to drugs. If I had to answer your question (for homework?) I would say that encapsulation provides superior resistance to environmental threats, giving the organism a better chance of survival when not in optimal conditions.

What is salmonella arizonae?
Types of salmonella bacteria can be distinguished from one another based on the different arrangement of structures on the surface of the cell - referred to as serological types or "serotypes". Examples include Salmonella Enteritidis or Salmonella Typhimurium. Often these serotypes are given names according to the place where they were first discovered, like Salmonella Saintpaul.

Why there is no vaccination for cold but there is vaccination for the flu?
The Common Cold (Rhinovirus) is different for each person, there is no vaccination becasue there are either to little to no cross protection between at leaset 99 serotypes.
