Abstract
Although Staphylococcus aureus is occasionally a normal inhabitant of the gastrointestinal tract, it is rarely considered a cause of enterocolitis. Staphylococcal enterocolitis was well described in preantibiotic days, but many have concluded that it was often confused with unrecognized pseudomembranous enterocolitis due to Clostridium difficile. Reports of methicillin resistant enterocolitis in the English literature are exceedingly rare, and the organism is not even identified in routine specimens by clinical laboratories.
