Ready to travel abroad again? Watch out for superbugs

WASHINGTON Newly vaccinated travellers enjoying a return to trips abroad may find a drug-resistant "superbug" hitching a ride in their gut, a study in Genome Medicine says.US and Dutch researchers studying the effects of travel on the bacteria in our stomachs were unnerved to find that a third of their subjects who travelled to Southeast Asia carried a bacterial gene

The scientists, collaborating with researchers at Maastricht University, analyzed bacterial communities in the gut microbiomes of 190 Dutch adults before and after travel to Southeastern Asia, South Asia, North Africa and Eastern Africa, which are all regions where the prevalence of resistance genes is high. The results confirmed that international travelers commonly return home with an unexpected payload of new bacterial strains among the thousands that normally reside within the gut microbiome.

Global travelers pick up numerous genes that promote microbial resistance

Research from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis shows that international travelers often return home with new bacterial strains jostling for position among the thousands that normally reside within the gut microbiome. Such travel is contributing to the rapid global increase and spread of antimicrobial resistance.
