Article Synopsis
- * The most commonly found PDMs were atypical enteropathogenic E. coli (16%), Yersinia enterocolitica (2%), and Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (1.7%), while other PDMs were less frequent.
- * Traveling outside Europe significantly increased the odds of carrying Campylobacter spp. and enterotoxigenic E. coli, while older individuals (≥65 years) were less likely to carry these microbes compared
Background: The prevalence of infections caused by Cefotaximase-Munich (CTX-M)-type extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) has rapidly increased during the past 15 years. Enterobacteriaceae are commonly found in the gastrointestinal tract and long-term intestinal carriage is considered important for the spread of ESBL and as a source of clinical infections. Oral biofilm such as supragingival plaque is known to contain numerous antibiotic resistance determinants and may also represent a poorly investigated site for ESBL carriage and further spread.
