Abstract
We investigated the effect of international travel on the gut resistome of 122 healthy travelers from the Netherlands by using a targeted metagenomic approach. Our results confirm high acquisition rates of the extended-spectrum beta-lactamase encoding gene bla(CTX-M), documenting a rise in prevalence from 9.0% before travel to 33.6% after travel (p
