Kingella kingae is a fastidious gram-negative bacillus that is considered an emerging pathogen in pediatric settings but remains less common in adults. Here we describe a case of pericarditis in an immunocompetent adult host. The microorganism was identified directly from the clinical sample by molecular techniques, i.e., 16S rRNA gene amplification and sequencing.
金氏金杆菌是一种苛求性革兰氏阴性杆菌,在儿科环境中被认为是一种新兴病原体,但在成人中仍较少见。在此,我们描述一例免疫功能正常的成年宿主发生的心包炎病例。通过分子技术,即16S rRNA基因扩增和测序,直接从临床样本中鉴定出该微生物。
