The incidence of infections caused by Salmonella strains resistant to antibiotics, including ampicillin, chloramphenicol, streptomycin, sulfonamides, tetracycline and even amoxicyllin-clavulanate, is increasing. We present two cases that illustrate the potential severity of infections caused by multidrug-resistant Salmonella and also the difficulty of reaching a differential diagnosis with inflammatory bowel disease.
