Oxacillin-induced pseudomembranous colitis.
Pseudomembranous colitis has been reported as a complication of therapy with a number of different antibiotics. We present here a case of pseudomembranous colitis following therapy with oxacillin, in which the causative organism and the toxin it produces were isolated from the patient's stool. We believe this is the first documented case of oxacillin-induced pseudomembranous colitis.
