Aim: This study aimed to characterize ESBL-producing E. coli isolates obtained from apparently healthy captive wild birds selected zoological gardens in Nigeria. Materials and Methods: A total of 121 freshly deposited faecal samples were collected seven major pooled into 50 samples. The screened for the presence . tested against a panel antibiotics ESBL production using double disc synergy test (DDST). Primer-specific PCR was used detect carriage genes ( bla CTX-M , TEM SHV ) by isolates. Results: 26 (52%, n = 26/50) birds. highest resistance rate observed with amoxicillin-clavulanate (88.5%), while lowest fosfomycin (3.8%). had Multiple Antibiotic Resistance Index (MARI) values ranging 0.1 0.8 across antibiotics. Approximately 65.4% carried detected 15.4% 34.6% isolates, respectively. Conclusion: revealed significant prevalence Nigeria highlighted need institute control measures prevent transmission antibiotic resistance.
