Travel-associated faecal colonisation with ESBL-PE appears to be transient and generally brief. Diarrhoea while abroad or a new trip abroad during the follow-up period decreased the risk of becoming a long-term carrier. Only 11% of travellers who acquired ESBL-PE during their travels had sustained colonisation 12 months after return.
