E. coli and K. pneumoniae infections in travellers, particularly those to Asia, may be challenging to empirically treat. Our analysis highlights the significant health risks these infections pose to travellers and emphasises the escalating global threat of AMR. Enhanced, systematic AMR surveillance in travellers is needed, along with prospective data on infection risk post travel-related AMR organism acquisition.
