Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an urgent threat to public health, but gaps in surveillance limit the detection of emergent novel threats and knowledge about the global distribution of AMR genes. International travelers frequently acquire AMR organisms, and thus may provide a window into AMR dynamics in otherwise poorly monitored regions and environments. To assess the utility of travelers as global AMR sentinels, we collected pre- and post-travel stool samples from 608 travelers, which were screened for the presence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing Enterobacterales, carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales, and
