| endocarditis due to kingella kingae. | four cases of endocarditis due to kingella kingae are described in compromised patients. all had primary heart disease, and two had systemic lupus erythematosis and congenital heart defect respectively, in addition. confirmation of kingella kingae was made in one case at autopsy. the literature on 11 cases of endocarditis, 2 bacteremia, 4 osteomyelitis, 5 septic arthritis and 1 intervertebral disc infection, all caused by kingella kingae, is reviewed. our findings confirm that the organism is of ... | 1984 | 6468370 |
| relatedness of three species of "false neisseriae," neisseria caviae, neisseria cuniculi, and neisseria ovis, by dna-dna hybridizations and fatty acid analysis. | dna-dna hybridization was used to determine the levels of genomic relatedness of the three species of "false neisseriae," neisseria caviae, neisseria cuniculi, and neisseria ovis. the reference strains of these species exhibited high levels of intraspecies relatedness (93 to 100% for n. caviae, 79 to 100% for n. cuniculi, and 68 to 100% for n. ovis) but low levels of interspecific relatedness (less than 34%) to each other and to various species belonging to the beta subclass of the proteobacteri ... | 1993 | 8494736 |

| use of the isolator 1.5 microbial tube for culture of synovial fluid from patients with septic arthritis. | synovial fluid specimens obtained from patients with arthritis were plated onto solid media (conventional cultures) or inoculated into an isolator 1.5 microbial tube (isolator cultures), and the yield and time to detection of organisms were compared. overall, 144 specimens obtained from 137 patients were processed, and 31 (21.5%) cultures obtained from 29 patients were positive by at least one method. staphylococcus aureus was isolated from 12 patients, streptococcus pneumoniae and kingella king ... | 1997 | 9276427 |
| kingella kingae endocarditis in a child with hair-cartilage hypoplasia. | abstract. kingella kingae is a fastidious gram-negative rod that since the 1980s has been appreciated as a cause of a variety of human infections, including bone and joint infections, bacteremia, and rarely endocarditis [2, 6, 7, 9]. k. kingae endocarditis is rare, and only a few cases occur in normal, native valves. we report a case of k. kingae endocarditis in a patient with hair-cartilage hypoplasia who had previously undergone bone marrow transplantation. the combination of these rare condit ... | 1997 | 9326695 |
| phylogeny of species in the family neisseriaceae isolated from human dental plaque and description of kingella oralis sp. nov [corrected]. | fourteen human periodontal isolates recovered from a purported eikenella corrodens-selective medium containing 1 microgram of clindamycin per ml displayed biochemical traits which differed from those described for e. corrodens. these organisms were gram-negative rods which corroded agar. the isolates were oxidase positive and urease, indole, and esculin negative. they differed from e. corrodens in catalase, nitrate reduction, lysine decarboxylase, and ornithine decarboxylase activities. one isol ... | 1993 | 8347509 |

| kingella kingae: an emerging cause of invasive infections in young children. | kingella kingae, a fastidious hemolytic gram-negative bacillus once considered to be an exceptional cause of disease, has emerged in recent years as an important invasive pathogen in children. when synovial fluid and other exudates were inoculated into blood culture bottles, enhanced recovery of the organism was observed, and an annual incidence of invasive k. kingae infections of 27.4 per 100,000 children younger than age 24 months was demonstrated in southern israel. skeletal infections are th ... | 1997 | 9142783 |
| molecular identification of gemella species from three patients with endocarditis. | gemella morbillorum and gemella haemolysans are opportunistic pathogens which cause endocarditis and other severe infections. we report on three patients with endocarditis, one with endocarditis caused by g. haemolysans and two with endocarditis caused by g. morbillorum. the paucity of reports concerning these bacteria is probably related to the difficulties associated with their identification. for example, one of the strains reported in this study was originally sent to our laboratory with a p ... | 1998 | 9542900 |
