Bacterial polysaccharides exist in the form of lipopolysaccharide, peptidoglycan, or in the form of a capsule. Polysaccharides are part of bacterial cell wall acting as a skeleton while they can also impart virulence to the bacterial system, such as poly-N-acetyl-glucosamine in bacterium Staphylococcus aureus.
