Global TravEpiNet AMR surveillance Genome sequencing and assembly
Cross-sectional study of 888 samples (pre- and post-travel isolates) collected in the USA (Boston, New York, Salt Lake City) from adult international travelers, sequencing antimicrobial-resistant Enterobacterales to study global AMR gene distribution. machine-written summary

Sampling design and relatedness
longitudinal
299 of 366 people sampled more than once (821 samples; median 2, up to 5 per person) · follow-up median 23 d (max 23 mo) · median interval between samples 36 d(time from collection dates).
Schedule stated by the source: “Pre-travel (D0) and post-travel stool samples at D14, D90, D180, and D360 for the same traveler.” (time origin: travel); stated follow-up 12 mo.
Each row is one person (36 shown of 299); dots are samples at days since that person's first sample.
