Salmonella typhimurium does not possess a true capsule; instead, it has a poorly defined outer layer known as a polysaccharide layer or a "slime layer." This structure can provide some level of protection and contribute to its virulence, but it is not a well-formed capsule like those found in some other bacteria. The presence of this layer can aid in evading the host's immune response.
