Introduction

Antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) are a major global problem, stressing the need to understand acquisition routes between hosts and reservoirs. While many studied risk factors for ARB acquisition, infection or colonisation, the urgency to reduce ARB calls for a quantification of acquisition routes’ relevance, which is less known but pivotal for cost-effective interventions. This review collects estimates on acquisition routes’ contributions of ARB in humans, animals, water and the environment. For each estimate, we determined the methodology used, e.g., statistical measures such as odds ratios (ORs) and modelling methods such as R0. Secondly, we assess if different methodologies used to measure exposure result in different transmission route estimates. Thirdly, we rank transmission routes per pathogen to compare the importance of routes per pathogen.
