  abstract = {{B}ackground: {T}he {G}rand {M}agal of {T}ouba ({GMT}) associates with risks of infection, but no study on the circulation of resistant bacteria has yet been conducted. {M}aterials and methods: q{PCR} was performed on rectal samples from {GMT} pilgrims between 2018 and 2021, before and after their participation in the gathering. {R}ectal samples from between 2018 and 2020 were also cultured on specific media, and antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed. {R}esults: {F}orty-one of the 296 (13.8%) pilgrims had at least one gastrointestinal symptom and 91/290 (31.4%) acquired pathogenic bacteria, mostly {E}scherichia coli. {A} total of 54.7% of pilgrims reported washing their hands more frequently than usual and 89.2% used soap. {O}ne hundred and five (36.2%) acquired at least one resistance gene, notably {CTX}-{M} {A} (21.0%), {SHV} (16.5%) and {TEM} (8.2%). {T}he strains isolated by culture were mostly {E}. coli. {T}hese bacteria were found to be sensitive to carbapenems and resistant to amoxicillin and amoxicillinclavulanic acid. {T}he acquisition of enteroaggregative {E}. coli was independently associated with {CTX}-{M} {A} and {TEM} acquisition. {C}onclusion: {P}ilgrims presented a risk for acquisition of {CTX}-{M} {A} after the {GMT}. {S}urveillance of the prevalence of resistant bacteria and the occurrence of associated clinical infections among pilgrims are necessary in the future.},
