Abstract
Kingella kingae is the major pathogen causing osteoarticular infections (OAI) in young children in numerous countries. Plasmid-borne TEM-1 penicillinase production has been sporadically detected in a few countries but not in continental Europe, despite a high prevalence of K. kingae infections. We describe here for the first time a K. kingae β-lactamase-producing strain in continental Europe and demonstrate the novel chromosomal location of the blaTEM-1 gene in K. kingae species.Entities:
