Morganella morganii urinary tract infection

A *Morganella morganii* urinary tract infection is a bacterial infection of the urinary tract caused by *Morganella morganii*, a facultatively anaerobic, urease-producing Gram-negative bacillus belonging to the order Enterobacterales It predominantly presents as a complicated or healthcare-associated infection, frequently affecting older adults, catheterized individuals, or patients with underlying structural urologic abnormalities and immunocompromising conditions Manifestations range from typi...

It predominantly presents as a complicated or healthcare-associated infection, frequently affecting older adults, catheterized individuals, or patients with underlying structural urologic abnormalities and immunocompromising conditions Manifestations range from typical lower urinary tract symptoms, such as dysuria, urgency, and foul-smelling urine, to pyelonephritis and systemic bacteremia

Manifestations range from typical lower urinary tract symptoms, such as dysuria, urgency, and foul-smelling urine, to pyelonephritis and systemic bacteremia

Pathophysiologically, the organism utilizes urease production to alkalinize urine and often exhibits intrinsic resistance to penicillins and early-generation cephalosporins via inducible, chromosomally encoded AmpC beta-lactamases
