Abstract
We report on a strain of Salmonella enteritidis which was found to be resistant to both ciprofloxacin and B-lactams and chloramphenicol in a patient treated with ciprofloxacin for a splenic abscess. We conclude that in invasive infections such as a splenic abscess caused by Salmo nella, early surgical intervention is important. Multiple-drug-resista nt strains of Salmonella may be selected by treatment with ciprofloxac in alone.
