“…To our knowledge, this is the highest rate of community carriage described to date and fits with the observation of high rates of invasive disease in our community. The estimated carriage rate in this study is more than twice as high as that reported in children the same age group in Switzerland using molecular diagnostic methods . A similar study in Israel described carriage rates varying from 9.8 to 11.4% in children between 12 and 24 months …”

“…7 In 1-year-old children, carriage rates have been described to be around 10% in Switzerland. 8 A longitudinal study in Israel reported that 41.3% of the children carried K. kingae at least once between the ages of 12 and 30 months. 9 There is a parallel between the age at which carriage is most likely and the age-related spectrum of invasive disease.…”

“…Rates of carriage and invasive infections are low in children under 6 months of age, reach a peak in those between 12 and 24 months, followed by a significant decrease above 30 months of age . In 1‐year‐old children, carriage rates have been described to be around 10% in Switzerland . A longitudinal study in Israel reported that 41.3% of the children carried K. kingae at least once between the ages of 12 and 30 months …”

“…K. kingae is a normal component of the upper respiratory tract flora in young children and is present in the posterior pharynx in approximately 10% of healthy children 6 to 48 months of age at any given point in time (2–5). This organism is readily transmitted from person to person by close contact among young children, and longitudinal studies have estimated that children have an approximately 70% chance of being colonized with K. kingae during the first 2 years of life (3, 6).…”

The Type a and Type b Polysaccharide Capsules Predominate in an International Collection of Invasive Kingella kingae Isolates

Kingella kingae has emerged as a significant cause of septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, and bacteremia in young children. A recent study examining a diverse collection of K. kingae isolates from Israel revealed four different polysaccharide capsule types in this species, designated types a to d. To determine the global distribution of K. kingae capsule types, we assembled and capsule typed an international collection of K. kingae isolates. The findings reported here show that the type a and type b capsules represent >95% of the invasive isolates, similar to the Israeli isolate collection, suggesting that a polysaccharide-based vaccine targeting these two capsules could be an attractive approach to prevent K. kingae disease.

This chapter covers the bacterial genera that are taxonomically diverse and belong to the families Cardiobacteriaceae , Flavobacteriaceae , Leptotrichiaceae , Neisseriaceae , Pasteurellaceae , and Porphyromonadaceae ; common traits justify their discussion as a group. The taxonomy of the family Pasteurellaceae has undergone important changes; the family consists of over 100 named species distributed in over 25 genera, of which 4 include human pathogens: Actinobacillus , Aggregatibacter , Haemophilus , and Pasteurella . The chapter focuses on species commonly isolated from humans. Direct microscopy of specimens or of positive blood cultures supported by clinical information may help identify the corresponding bacteria, e.g., the typical morphology of spindle‐shaped cells in the Gram stain in the context of a dog bite allows the presumptive identification of C. canimorsus . Phenotypic identification of fastidious Gram‐negative rods presents several challenges.
