∙ 12y agoIt gives encapsulated bacteria a potential advantage over the body's immune cells (impairs phagocytosis). Outside the body, it gives the bacteria increased protection against the environment, so they might stick around on surfaces longer, or have a bit more resistance against being killed by cleaning processes. However, it's also used against them, as the capsule can become a good target for some very effective vaccines against those bacteria.
