Prevalence and Persistence of Antibiotic Resistance Determinants in the Gut of Travelers Returning to the United Kingdom is Associated with Colonization by Pathogenic Escherichia coli

ABSTRACT The gut microbiota constitutes an ideal environment for the selection, exchange, and carriage of antibiotic resistance determinants (ARDs), and international travel has been identified as a risk factor for acquisition of resistant organisms. Here, we present a longitudinal metagenomic analy...
