摘要

As a result of increasing use of improved detection methods, Kingella kingae is being increasingly recognized as an important pediatric pathogen and the most common etiology of skeletal system infections in children aged 6 to 48 months in countries where sensitive molecular diagnostic methods are routinely used for processing joint aspirates and bone exudates (1–3). The organism is carried in the oropharynx without clinical symptoms and is transmitted from child to child by close contact among siblings and playmates (4–7). The colonized mucosal surface is also the portal of entry of K. kingae to the bloodstream, from where it may invade the skeletal system and the endocardium, for which the species exhibits a particular tropism (8–10). The K. kingae strains carried differ in virulence. Some strains belonging to a few distinct genotypic clones and characterized by polysaccharide capsule a or b are responsible for the vast majority of clinical diseases (11). On the other hand, other clones that elaborate capsule type c or d are usually found as mere respiratory colonizers and are rarely isolated from invasive infections (11). The age-related prevalence of K. kingae colonization parallels that of invasive disease, reaching 10 to 12% during the second year of life and decreasing in older children (4, 5). Similarly to other pathogens of respiratory origin, the colonization rate is substantially increased among children attending day care facilities, and out-of-home care is significantly and independently associated with K. kingae carriage (6).
