In current times, the opportunistic pathogen Morganella morganii is increasingly becoming a cause of urinary tract infections. The condition has been further complicated by the multiple drug resistance of most isolates. Swimming motility plays an important role in the development of urinary tract infections, allowing bacteria to colonize the upper urinary tract.

- The study focused on sequencing and analyzing the genomes of three strains of an opportunistic bacterial pathogen from patients with urinary tract infections.
- The whole genome sizes ranged from 3.82 to 3.97 Mb, with a high percentage of protein-coding sequences and various genomic features identified, including prophages and genomic islands.
- Notably, specific genes linked to virulence, such as those for urease, hemolysis, and adhesion proteins, were found, with some strains showing significant cytotoxic effects on bladder cancer cells.
