Abstract

The article discusses how travelers should be taught about anti-microbial resistance. It adds that the message given to travelers should focus on avoiding diarrhoea and unjustified antibiotic use as advising not to travel to areas at high risk for the acquisition of MRE is not realistic. it suggests that limiting the use of antibiotics for diarrhoea to very specific clinical situations should be highlighted during the consultation.
