Answer:

Streptococcus pneumonia is a virulent pathogen which cause pneumonia in humans. The polysaccharide capsule plays an important role in the virulence of this bacteria.

This outer capsule do not allow immune cells like phagocytic cell to engulf and kill this bacteria because it cause slippery surface for phagocytes.

Capsule also allow this bacteria to escape from mucus because its capsule repels the mucus as it contain negative charge and capsule is responsible for invasive infection because it helps in colonization of bacteria in host. So by making capsule it avoid destruction by a phagocyte.

nita Magri will turn age 65 in August 2022. Anita intends to enroll in Original Medicare Part A and Part B. She would also like
Usimov [2.4K]

Anita cannot choose a Medigap Part F plan because it is no longer accessible to anyone turning 65 after January 1, 2020.

We have to disappoint Anita, but after January 1, 2020, a Medigap Part F plan is no longer available.

Anita could look at different Medigap insurance that provide overseas travel benefits but do not pay the Part B deductible.

Anita is not eligible to enroll in Medigap plan F since she will reach the age of 65 after the deadline, which is January 1, 2020.

As a result, while we apologize for disappointing her, she should be urged to search for other Medigap policies that can provide her with the benefits of overseas travel while not paying the deductible component B.

So we can conclude as Medigap Part F plan because it is no longer accessible to anyone turning 65 after January 1, 2020 anita can not opt for that plan but she can opt for some other plan.
