Prevalence and Persistence of Antibiotic Resistance Determinants in the Gut of Travelers Returning to the United Kingdom is Associated with Colonization by Pathogenic Escherichiacoli

Abstract excerpt

A future where antimicrobial therapy is severely compromised by the increase in resistant organisms is of grave concern. Given the variability in prevalence and diversity of antimicrobial resistance determinants in different geographical settings, international travel is a known risk factor for acquisition of resistant organisms into the gut microbiota. In this study, we show the utility of metagenomic approaches...
