  1. 1. Epidemiology, Risk Factors, Hidden Gut Resistome and Characterization of Multidrug-Resistant Enterobacterales Colonizing the Intestinal Tract of Swiss Expatriates

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Pablo Porragas Paseiro; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A study following long-term residents from countries with low prevalence of multidrug-resistant Enterobacterales residing in countries with high prevalence has never been done before at this scale. In this ongoing work, we analyzed the epidemiology and risk factors for colonization with multidrug-resistant Enterobacterales in 57 Swiss embassy employees and expatriates stationed worldwide by administering a questionnaire to establish facets of participants' diet, lifestyle, and medical history.
