GeoSentinel Analysis of Travelers' Diarrhea Antimicrobial Resistance Patterns.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Diarrheal disease causes substantial morbidity in international travelers. Knowledge of antibiotic resistance of causative pathogens helps guide empiric treatment decisions.

Objective

To characterize antimicrobial nonsusceptibility patterns of culture-confirmed Campylobacter species, nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) species, Shigella species, and diarrheagenic Escherichia coli isolated from international travelers with diarrhea identified by the GeoSentinel Surveillance Network.

Design, setting, and participants

This is a retrospective cross-sectional analysis of antimicrobial susceptibility data for 4 major pathogens causing travel-associated diarrhea, reported from April 14, 2015, to December 19, 2022, at 58 of 71 international GeoSentinel sites. Participant
