Land and marine iguanas and giant tortoises living close to
human settlements or tourist sites in the Galapagos islands were
more likely to harbor antibiotic-resistant bacteria than those
living in more remote or protected sites on the islands,
researchers report. Many of the reptiles harbor E. coli bacteria
that are resistant to ampicillin, doxycycline, tetracycline, and
trimethoprin/sulfamethoxazole. - Patterns of antibiotic-
