Morganella morganii is a species of Gram-negative bacteria.[2] It has a commensal relationship within the intestinal tracts of humans, mammals, and reptiles as normal flora.[2] Although M. morganii has a wide distribution, it is considered an uncommon cause of community-acquired infection, and it is most often encountered in postoperative and other nosocomial infections, such as urinary tract infections.[3]
