Core Tip	The case presented here displays the complex situation of Crohn’s disease aggravated by an intestinal bacterial infection, which is a commonly observed clinical scenario. However, the presence of enterotoxigenic methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in colonic mucosal biopsies is a very rare finding. Nevertheless, in face of the increasing prevalence of MRSA infections, clinicians should be aware of unusual opportunistic infections demanding a sophisticated antimicrobial screening and treatment to be combined with inflammatory bowel disease - specific medical therapy.
