Kingella kingae expresses type IV pili that mediate adherence to respiratory epithelial and synovial cells.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Nov 2008

Kehl-Fie Thomas E, Miller Sara E, St Geme Joseph W

Abstract excerpt

Kingella kingae is a gram-negative bacterium that colonizes the respiratory tract and is a common cause of septic arthritis and osteomyelitis. Despite the increasing frequency of K. kingae disease, little is known about the mechanism by which this organism adheres to respiratory epithelium and seeds joints and bones. Previous work showed that K. kingae expresses long surface fibers that vary in surface density....
