DOI: 10.1099/ijsem.0.001957
Abstract: We herein report the isolation and characterization of 21 Gram-stain-negative strains cultivated from the oropharynx of healthy children in Israel and Switzerland. Initially described as small colony variants of Kingella kingae, phenotypic analysis, biochemical analysis,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jpc.15035
Abstract: We rarely biopsy bones in osteomyelitis and often have to treat empirically. Staphylococcus aureus has been considered the most common cause of childhood osteomyelitis and septic arthritis. However, direct injection of joint fluid into blood… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/jcm.00736-17
Abstract: ABSTRACT Kingella kingae is an important invasive pathogen in early childhood. The organism elaborates an RTX toxin presumably restricted to this species. Consequently, real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) assays targeting the RTX locus have been developed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/mbio.02295-22
Abstract: Kingella kingae is an emerging pediatric pathogen and produces invasive disease by colonizing the oropharynx, invading the bloodstream, and disseminating to distant sites. This organism produces a uniquely multifunctional exopolysaccharide called galactan that is critical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12866-017-1104-5
Abstract: BackgroundOutbreaks of Kingella kingae infection are an emerging public health concern among daycare attendees carrying epidemic clones in the oropharynx. However, genotyping of such epidemic clones from affected cases is limited by the low performance… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics12122932
Abstract: As a result of the increasing use of improved detection methods, Kingella kingae, a Gram-negative component of the pediatric oropharyngeal microbiota, is increasingly appreciated as the prime etiology of septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, and spondylodiscitis in… read more here.
