Sir,

Escherichia coli isolates play a major role in the horizontal gene transfer of resistance genes located on mobile genetic elements between intestinal bacteria of different species and genera.1 While data on antimicrobial resistance in E. coli are commonly obtained from clinical isolates of humans, food-producing animals or pets, little is known about the antimicrobial resistance of E. coli from free-living animals in remote geographical areas. In this study, we investigated 28 E. coli isolates obtained from faecal samples of monitor lizards (Varanus spp.) for the presence of antimicrobial resistance-mediating gene cassettes located in class 1 . . .
