Key messages
Antimicrobial resistance is a rapidly growing threat. Bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics are common abroad and may easily spread to Finland by travellers. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are more common overseas than in Finland, and those travelling abroad may easily be infected by antibiotic-resistant bacteria through sources such as water or food. Make sure you have the necessary vaccinations before going abroad.
Start your trip when you are healthy. Seek medical attention if you fall ill. Do not buy antibiotics without a prescription.
