Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant global health threat. People often acquire AMR bacteria during travel and import them into their home countries. This large-scale cohort study among intercontinental travellers identified destination, diarrhoea, antibiotic use, and shellfish consumption during travel as significant risk factors for acquisition of various AMR genes.
