Kingella kingae colony morphology on blood agar

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Kingella kingae is a Gram-negative bacterium known to be a part of the human microbiota, particularly in the upper respiratory tract and the oropharynx. It is a rare but significant pathogen that can cause various infections, primarily in children, including septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, and endocarditis. Beta-hemolysis is a type of hemolysis where bacteria produce enzymes called hemolysins that completely lyse (break down) red blood cells, causing a clear zone around the bacterial colonies on blood agar. This clear zone is indicative of complete hemolysis.
