title: Antibacterial resistance, Wayampis Amerindians, French Guyana.
abstract: Drug resistance in fecal bacteria was high in Wayampis Amerindians who did not take antibacterial agents and were not hospitalized for 1 year. In the Wayampis Amerindians, an isolated traditional community in French Guyana, antibacterial use was 0.64 treatments per person per year. Hospitalization rate was 6.1% per year. Antibacterial drug-resistant bacteria can spread in persons who are not taking antibacterial agents.
