Drug resistant pathogens and travel: No road map but a new initiative from Travel Medicine and Infectious Disease

For the pre-travel setting, the wealth of information can be condensed into a few practical, immediate, recommendations that emphasize the importance of frequent hand-washing/hand hygiene during travel limiting antibiotic use - especially for travellers' diarrhoea recommending appropriate vaccines pre-travel to protect at-risk travellers being aware of the need for judicious use of antibiotics and the need to avoid inappropriate and sub-optimal anti-pathogen therapies being aware of possible colonization of returning travellers with multi-resistant bacteria and the ramifications for immunocompromised family and contacts possibly implementing pre-hospitalisation screening of risk groups returning from geographic areas of defined multi-drug resistance planning research on the onward transmission of travel-acquired microbial drug resistance to families and communities With this special issue on travel and the spread of drug resistant pathogens, Travel Medicine and Infectious Disease, highlights the need, in this domain, for policy making and a travel medicine road map.   Brazilhttp://portalsaude.saude.gov.br/index.php/o-ministerio/principal/secretarias/svs/noticias-svs/17636-acoes-para-superar-lacunas-de-pesquisa-e-desenvolvimento-em-resistencia-a-drogas-antimicrobianasportalsaude.saude.gov.br/images/zip/2015/maio/08/AMR.ziphttp://portalsaude.saude.gov.br/index.php/o-ministerio/aisa/noticias-aisa/25754-brasil-se-compromete-a-combater-resistencia-antimicrobiana-em-reuniao-na-onu Overcoming gaps in R&D on AMR meeting, Brasilia, 26-27th March 2015   Argentinahttp://www.msal.gob.ar/prensa/index.php/noticias/noticias-de-la-semana/2737-salud-y-agricultura-ponen-en-marcha-estrategia-para-garantizar-uso-responsable-de-antimicrobianos Ministries of Health and Agriculture agreement for rational use of antimicrobials   Chilehttp://www.ispch.cl/actividades/23258 National Training in Antimicrobial Resistance   Colombiahttp://www.ins.gov.co/temas-de-interes/IAAS/4.%20Estado%20del%20arte%20de%20resistencia%20bacteriana.pdf National Network of Surveillance of the Bacterial Resistance and HealthCare Associated Infections   Mexicohttps://www.insp.mx/lineas-de-investigacion/medicamentos-en-salud-publica/investigacion/resistencia-antimicrobiana.html Surveillance of bacterial resistance in Mexico   South Africa:Group for Enteric Respiratory and Meningeal Disease Surveillance in South Africa (GERMS-SA) http://www.nicd.ac.za/?page=germs-sa&id=97 Tracks vaccine preventable diseases; AIDS related opportunistic infections, infections with epidemic potential e.g. typhoid, meningococcal disease, viral haemorrhagic fevers, looking for resistance where appropriate..
