Kingella oralis

Type strain: strain UB-38 = ATCC 51147= CCUG 30450 = CIP 103803

Kingella oralis. This organism is gram-negative rod isolated from human dental plaque. (

Select a strain for which genome information (e.g. size, plasmids, distinct genes, etc.) is available.

Cell wall, biofilm formation, motility, metabolic functions.

Aerobe/anaerobe, habitat (location in the oral cavity, potential other environments) and microbe/host interactions.

Do these microorganisms cause disease in the oral cavity or elsewhere?

Bioengineering, biotechnologically relevant enzyme/compound production, drug targets,…

Summarise some of the most recent discoveries regarding this species.
