The annual incidence of invasive Kingella kingae infection in children younger than 4 years of age was significantly higher in westernized Jews than in indigent Bedouins living side by side in southern Israel (12.21/100,000 and 5.83/100,000, respectively, (P < 0.05). One K. kingae clone was overrepresented among isolates from Jewish children, suggesting that differences in bacterial pathogenicity may contribute to the morbidity excess detected in this population group.
在以色列南部,与贫困的贝都因人毗邻而居的西方化犹太人中,4 岁以下儿童侵袭性金氏金菌感染的年发病率明显高于后者(分别为 12.21/100000 和 5.83/100000,P<0.05)。在来自犹太儿童的分离株中,金氏金菌的一个克隆明显占优势,这表明细菌致病性的差异可能导致该人群发病率的增加。
