Most travellers, 174 (81.3 %), regularly used disinfectants; only 36 (16.8 %) did not. There was no statistically significant correlation between the use of a disinfectant and colonisation with MDRO. In our and comparable studies, a high-risk region on the risk map was associated with an increased number of MDRO or extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) positive returns.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>Travellers showed a high willingness to use disinfectants. This preliminary study highlights the need for larger, randomized studies to better assess the true impact of hand disinfectants on MDRO acquisition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23312,"journal":{"name":"Travel Medicine and Infectious Disease","volume":"65 ","pages":"Article 102837"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143664618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
