[|Human|] Hi Doctor - my grandfather whom is 99 years of age has been in and out of the hospital for the past 2 months due to, what we were told were kidney infections. Today he had to undergo a procedure for a urine bag and was just diagnosed with Bacterial Morganella Morganii. He lives in a nursing/rehabilitaion center. He also has had a bed sore for about two/three months. My question is how did he contract that, how serious is it and what should the proper treatment be? Could that be the reason why his bed sore is not healing? The hospital just put him in isolation? How contagious is he?
[|AI|]  Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum.  It appears that the strains of the organelle are present in the intestinal flora, when the normal flora is destroyed, these strains dominate as the opportunistic and flare up.  Usually come up as nosocomial infection. Bed sores may have or may not have any relation with it.  I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment.  These bacteria are sensitive to the ciprofloxacin,3rd,and 4th generationcephalosporins, ticarcillin, andpipercillin.  Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
