• Resumen

  • According to this study:

    * Traveler's diarrhea and the use of antimicrobials are independent risk factors for colonization by extended-spectrum betalactamase–producing Enterobacteriaceae.

    * Travelers visiting high-risk regions shouldn't take antibiotics to prevent or treat mild or moderate traveler's diarrhea.
