Abstract:This research explores the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles and prevalence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) and non-ESBL-producing
Escherichia coli
in Ojerame Dam and Ovokoto Spring, Edo State, Nigeria. Over 12 months, water was systematically sampled to accommodate seasonal variations and analyzed by employing an ESBL-selective medium for bacterial species. Additionally, bacterial isolates underwent identification and characterization using polymerase chain reaction (PC… Show more
