The Kingella kingae PilC1 MIDAS Motif Is Essential for Type IV Pilus Adhesive Activity and Twitching Motility

20 Dec 2022

Abstract excerpt

Kingella kingae is an emerging pathogen that has recently been identified as a leading cause of osteoarticular infections in young children. Colonization with K. kingae is common, with approximately 10% of young children carrying this organism in the oropharynx at any given time. Adherence to epithelial cells represents the first step in K. kingae colonization of the oropharynx, a prerequisite for invasive...
