Skin and skin structure Morganella morganii infection

A skin and skin structure *Morganella morganii* infection is a bacterial infection of the cutaneous and deeper subcutaneous tissues caused by the opportunistic, Gram-negative enteric bacillus *Morganella morganii* Primarily affecting the integumentary system, it frequently manifests as surgical site infections, cellulitis, abscesses, or chronic wound superinfections, predominantly arising in hospitalized, postoperative, elderly, or immunocompromised individuals with underlying comorbidities Path...

Pathophysiologically, the organism—often part of a polymicrobial process—invades disrupted skin barriers, where its intrinsic inducible AmpC beta-lactamase production, hemolysins, and lipopolysaccharide endotoxins provoke localized inflammation, purulence, tissue breakdown, and an increased risk of bacteremic dissemination or tissue necrosis
