Prevalence of pharyngeal carriage of Kingella kingae in young children and risk factors for colonization

Uri Amit et al. Pediatr Infect Dis J. 2013 Feb.

Abstract

The carriage rate of Kingella kingae among Jewish and Bedouin children living in southern Israel paralleled the age-related incidence of invasive infections. Age 6-29 months was a significant risk factor for K. kingae colonization in both ethnic groups; day-care attendance was a risk factor in Jewish children, whereas living in a shanty town was negatively associated with carriage in Bedouins.
