DOIAbstract
Enteric fever, caused by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S Typhi) and S. enterica serovar Paratyphi (S Paratyphi), is a common travel-related illness. Limited data are available on the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) patterns of these serovars among travelers. Records of travelers with a culture-confirmed diagnosis seen during or after travel from January 2007 to December 2018 were obtained from GeoSentinel. Traveler demographics and antimicrobial susceptibility data were analyzed. Isolates were classified as nonsusceptible if intermediate or resistant or as susceptible in accordance with the participating site's national guidelines. A total of 889 travelers (S Typhi infections, n = 474; S Paratyphi infections, n = 414; coinfection, n = 1...
