*Participants submitted samples pretravel (within 1 week before departure), posttravel (within 1 week after return), 30 days posttravel, and 6 months posttravel. ESBL, extended-spectrum β-lactamase; N, no; NR, no sample received; Y, yes; –, ESBL-negative by culture. †T8 was the only participant who was phenotypically ESBL-negative after travel.
