Destination shapes antibiotic resistance gene acquisitions, abundance increases, and diversity changes in Dutch travelers
Background: Antimicrobial-resistant bacteria and their antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes can spread by hitchhiking in human guts. International travel can exacerbate this public health threat when travelers acquire AMR genes endemic to their destinations and bring them back to their home countries. Prior studies have demonstrated travel-related acquisition of specific opportunistic pathogens and AMR genes, but the extent and magnitude of travel’s effects on the gut resistome remain largely unknown. Methods: Using whole metagenomic shotgun sequencing, functional metagenomics, and Dirichlet m... Mehr ...
