Antibiotics were once considered the miracle cure for infectious diseases. The tragedy would be the loss of these miracles as we witness increased antibiotic resistance throughout the world. One of the concerns during mass gatherings is the transmission of antibiotic resistance. Hajj is one of the most common recurring mass gatherings, attracting millions of people from around the world. The transmission of drug-resistant organisms during the Hajj is not well described. In the current review, we summarize the available literature on the transmission and acquisition of antibiotic resistance during the Hajj and present possible solutions.
抗生素曾被视为治疗传染病的奇迹药物。但随着世界各地抗生素耐药性的不断增加，我们可能会失去这些奇迹药物，这将是一场悲剧。在大规模集会期间，人们关注的一个问题是抗生素耐药性的传播。朝觐是最常见的周期性大规模集会之一，吸引了来自世界各地的数百万人参加。然而，目前人们对朝觐期间耐药菌的传播情况了解甚少。在本次综述中，我们总结了朝觐期间抗生素耐药性传播和获得的相关文献，并提出了可能的解决方案。
