Early-onset neonatal sepsis caused by vertical transmission of Morganella morganii.
The onset of Morganella morganii infection within the first 72 h after birth has only been reported on 1 occasion. The authors describe a second case in which M. morganii was cultured from both the neonate's blood and the mother's lochia. The infant was successfully treated with cefotaxime and gentamicin.
