ABSTRACT
Morganella morganii, a gram, negative rod is often regarded as an opportunistic, secondary invader rather than a primary pathogen on the skin. It has been isolated from blood, sputa, and pus from patients with respiratory tract and wound infections or with bacteremia. A 2-year-old boy presented with erythematous ulcerative lesions on the cheeks and left knee which had a tendency to superficial scarring. The organism isolated from the ulcer displayed a biochemical char acteristics typical of Morganella morganii. The lesions responded well to systemic antibiotic therapy with amikacin and carbenicillin, which were recognized as effective drugs in in vitro sensitivity testing.
