RESUMEN
Nowadays, the increasing use of antibiotics induces many complications including pseudomembranous colitis. Isolates of toxigenic Clostridium difficile, the most frequent cause of antibiotic-associated pseudomembranous colitis, are almost always highly susceptible to rifampicin. However, resistant isolates exist and have been associated with colitis in humans. We report a case of pseudomem- branous colitis associated with rifampicin administration.
