Is It Common To Have Morganella Morganii Infection With Hip Replacement?

My mother has morganella Morganii infection in hip replacement. Had to have artificial hip removed and spacer inserted. Have you ever heard of this happening? We found out another lady has same infection and same doctor and same hospital. She is from our town and had her spacer 4weeks prior to my mothers.

Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello, thank you for your contact to health care magic. If I am your doctor I suggest you this bacteria is uncommon and not found usually in culture. It is a common contaminant of the many laboratories and hospitals, so there is chance that the organisms is contaminant. Sensitivity of such organisms are must to treat them, because they are resistant to routinely prescribed drugs. Take antibiotics according to sensitivity and the infection will be resolved. If you have to ask me anything you can contact me. Dr Arun Tank. Infectious disease specialist. Thank you.
