Abstract
Morganella morganii is an opportunistic organism that leads to serious morbidity. It is an enteric organism commonly associated with immunocompromise and chronic urinary catheterization. We present a case of a healthy gravid individual who presented with chorioamnionitis and neonatal seizures associated with M. morganii. This organism, which causes severe morbidity, is fortunately rare in obstetrics and gynecology.
