International travel to exotic destinations continues to increase, as does the risk for illness during travel. Health problems during travel are common. Although many medical problems that travelers incur are noninfectious in origin (eg, injuries, environment-associated illness), travelers often are at risk for acquiring a variety of infections. Many travel-related infections also occur commonly in the developed world, whereas other infections of travelers may be geographically restricted to specific world regions and/or are infrequently encountered in developed nations. Antibiotics play an important role in the treatment and prevention of a variety of bacterial and parasitic infections in travelers. This article reviews antibiotics of particularly high utility to travelers, with emphasis on selected agents that, with appropriate advice from a travel medicine specialist, can be used safely for prophylaxis and self-treatment during travel. The role of antibiotics in selected high-risk travelers also is discussed.
前往异国他乡的国际旅行持续增加，旅行期间患病的风险也在增加。旅行期间出现健康问题很常见。虽然旅行者遭遇的许多医疗问题源于非传染性因素（如受伤、与环境相关的疾病），但旅行者往往有感染各种疾病的风险。许多与旅行相关的感染在发达国家也很常见，而旅行者的其他一些感染可能在地理上局限于特定的世界区域，和/或在发达国家很少见。抗生素在治疗和预防旅行者的各种细菌和寄生虫感染方面发挥着重要作用。本文综述了对旅行者特别有用的抗生素，重点介绍了一些特定药物，在旅行医学专家的适当建议下，这些药物可在旅行期间安全地用于预防和自我治疗。还讨论了抗生素在选定的高风险旅行者中的作用。
