title: An unusual dual infection with Salmonella bredeney, including bacteraemia, and enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157 that posed a therapeutic dilemma.
abstract: In this case report, we describe an unusual case of a patient who had a dual infection with Salmonella bredeney including bacteraemia and enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157 following travel to Cyprus. This posed a therapeutic dilemma. We delayed treatment of the Salmonella infection until signs of colitis had resolved.
