The researchers looked at the similarities in chemical structure between glucose in blood and body fluids, and two other sugar called mannose and fucose. These sugars are found on the surfaces of bacteria and fungi and act as targets for receptors in our body that have evolved to detect and bind to microbial sugars to then combat the infection. | The researchers looked at the similarities in chemical structure between glucose in blood and body fluids, and two other sugar called mannose and fucose.
