AI Article Synopsis
- Researchers screened stool samples from 608 US travelers returning from international trips and found that 38% acquired multidrug-resistant organisms.
- The study revealed that these travelers continued to carry these organisms at significantly higher rates for at least six months after their return.
- Experiencing travel-related diarrhea increased the likelihood of both acquiring these bacteria during travel and carrying them long-term after returning home.
Article Abstract
We performed prospective screening of stool for multidrug-resistant organisms from 608 US international travelers and identified an acquisition rate of 38% following travel. Carriage rates remained significantly elevated for at least 6 months post-travel. Travel-related diarrhea was a risk factor for acquisition, as well as for long-term carriage upon return.
