Urine culture positive
My 3.5 month old baby boy had an episode of uti when he was 13 days old. Got treated for that and later findings showed Phimosis. As suggested by the pediatric surgeon, as natural Phimosis exist and goes away on its own, my baby is on dosage of Sporidex antibiotics till 6 month of age.
We would be traveling shortly, so simply we got his urine routine and culture done. His routine urine came totally normal, but culture was positive with organism Morganella Morgenii. But he doesn't have any signs of uti.
His previous uti organism was e.coli. What should be done in our case?

UTI less than 1yr is very significant apart from using antibiotics kindly get his Renal imaging done. If it is normal then no need to worry, being under regular followup is suffiecient.
Morganella is Normal gut flora the sample might be a contaminated one that's it.
Just be in regular followup with your consultant .
