Morganella morganii Bacteremia in an Immunocompetent 13-Year-Old Male: A Rare Pediatric Case

<i>Morganella morganii</i> is a gram-negative bacillus with intrinsic resistance to many β-lactam antibiotics, including penicillins and first-/second-generation cephalosporins. It is frequently associated with urinary tract, wound, and respiratory infections, and can develop into bacteremia in older adults due to age-related comorbidities and immunosenescence, but this has rarely been described in children. In this report, we present the case of a 13-year-old male with a urinary tract infection complicated by <i>M. morganii</i> bacteremia, who was successfully treated with antibiotics. To our knowledge, this is one of the few documented cases of <i>M. morganii</i> bacteremia in an immunocompetent pediatric patient.
