				Abstract 
 
				
				
				Aim: 
				
				To assess the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance producing 
				extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) (blaTEM,
				
				
				blaSHV, 
				and 
				
				blaCTX-M) 
				genes in 
				
				Escherichia coli 
				
				isolated from chicken meat, chevon meat, raw milk, and human 
				urine and stool samples collected from tribal districts of 
				Chhattisgarh, 
				
				viz., 
				Jagdalpur, Dantewada, Kondagaon, and Kanker. 
				
				
				Materials and Methods: 
				
				A total of 330 samples, comprising 98 chicken meat, 82 chevon 
				meat, 90 raw milk, and 60 human urine and stool samples, were 
				processed for isolation of 
				
				E. coli. 
				Isolates were confirmed biochemically and further tested against 
				commonly used antibiotics to know their resistant pattern. The 
				resistant isolates were tested for ESBL production by phenotypic 
				method followed by characterization with molecular method using 
				multiplex-polymerase chain reaction technique. 
				
				
				Results: 
				
				Overall 57.87% (191/330) samples were found positive for 
				
				
				E. coli, 
				
				which include 66.32% (65/98) chicken meat, 46.34% (38/82) chevon 
				meat, 81.11% (73/90) raw milk, and 25% (15/60) human urine and 
				stool samples. Isolates showed the highest resistance against 
				cefotaxime (41.36%) followed by oxytetracycline (34.03%), 
				ampicillin (29.31%), cephalexin (24.60%), cefixime (16.75%), and 
				ceftazidime (13.08%). Phenotypic method detected 10.99% (21/191) 
				isolates as presumptive ESBL producers, however, molecular 
				method detected 3.66% (7/191), 2.09% (4/191), and 0.00% (0/191) 
				prevalence of 
				
				blaTEM,
				
				
				blaCTX-M, 
				and 
				
				blaSHV, 
				respectively. 
				
				
				Conclusion: 
				
				The present study indicates a high prevalence of 
				
				E. coli 
				
				in raw chicken meat, chevon meat, and milk due to poor hygienic 
				practices. The antibiotic susceptibility test detected the 
				presence of the resistance pattern against ESBL in 
				
				E. coli 
				
				isolated from raw chicken meat, chevon meat, milk, and also in 
				human clinical samples is of great concern. The appearance of
				
				
				E. coli 
				
				in the human food chain is alarming and requires adaptation of 
				hygienic practices and stipulate use of antibiotics.
