Sumario:Morganella morganii is a rare opportunistic pathogen that is known to cause urinary tract and intra-abdominal infections. Per our literature review, there are few case reports of neonatal sepsis associated with this organism but to our knowledge, there are no case reports of Morganella morganii causing fetal demise in published literature in the Englishlanguage. In this case report, we present a case of a 34-year-old pregnant woman who had a hospital course complicated by Morganella morganii, which eventually led to stillbirth.
