Gut microbiota dynamics in travelers returning from India colonized with extended-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant <em>Enterobacteriaceae</em>: a... (Publications)
ESC-R-Ent colonization significantly influences bacterial composition. Moreover, none of the found microbiota clusters were significantly associated with subsequent risk of ESC-R-Ent colonization. CONCLUSION: [...] points. RESULTS: Prevalence of ESC-R-Ent colonization before traveling was 10% (n=4), whereas it increased to 76% (n=31) after the trip. Based on bacterial diversity analyses of the gut microbiota, there [...] ceae (ESC-R-Ent) has been attributed to travel to high prevalence...
