Synthases are membrane‐embedded glycosyltransferases enabling the polymerization and secretion of homopolysaccharides that can form a capsule around mycoplasma cells. The nature of the capsular polymer is tightly linked to different structural features of the synthase.

Challenges of Controlling Foot‐and‐Mouth Disease in Pastoral Settings in Africa
Foot‐and‐mouth disease (FMD) is a highly devastating viral disease affecting all cloven‐hoofed animals. The disease threatens food security and livelihoods across different parts of the world. FMD is endemic in Africa; where the continuous circulation of the disease impacts the livelihoods of pastoral communities by reducing the quality and quantity of

Background: Antimicrobials are used on farms to manage livestock diseases. In many developing countries, antimicrobial use (AMU) is insufficiently controlled, and antimicrobials are prone to misuse and abuse, thereby fostering the emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). AMR remains a challenge in Kenya, and the extent remains unknown.
