Identification and characterization of an RTX toxin in the emerging pathogen Kingella kingae.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jan 2007

Kehl-Fie Thomas E, St Geme Joseph W

Abstract excerpt

Kingella kingae is an emerging bacterial pathogen that is increasingly recognized as the causative agent of a variety of pediatric diseases, including septic arthritis and osteomyelitis. The pathogenesis of K. kingae disease is believed to begin with colonization of the upper respiratory tract. In the present study, we examined interactions between K. kingae and cultured respiratory epithelial cells and observed...
