Infect Drug Resist. 2022 Jan 13:15:127-133. doi: 10.2147/IDR.S305078. eCollection 2022.

Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is of increasing global concern. Human mobility is one factor that has recently been associated with AMR, though the extent of its impact has not yet been well established due to the limited availability of rigorous data. This review examines the existing literature regarding various types of human mobility including short-term travelers, forcibly displaced persons, migrant populations, and their association with global rates of AMR.

Keywords: antimicrobial resistance; displaced person; migrant; mobility; refugee; traveler.
