Traveller studies in low- and middle-income countries: a critical gap in global antibiotic resistance surveillance

Abstract

A substantial proportion of global travel occurs between low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) for the purposes of migration, medical tourism, trade and employment, and this is likely to accelerate due to climate-change-related migration. Traveller studies based in LMICs are needed to better monitor the global spread of antibiotic resistance.
