High rate of asymptomatic colonization with antimicrobial-resistant Escherichia coli in Australian returned travellers

Global movement of people plays a key role in the spread of antimicrobial resistant (AMR) organisms. We found that 58% of Australian travellers returning from Asia were asymptomatic carriers of AMR Escherichia coli, including resistance to critically important antibiotics. Future studies are needed...

Zusammenfassung:	Global movement of people plays a key role in the spread of antimicrobial resistant (AMR) organisms. We found that 58% of Australian travellers returning from Asia were asymptomatic carriers of AMR Escherichia coli, including resistance to critically important antibiotics. Future studies are needed to identify interventions for travellers to reduce their risk of AMR acquisition.
