E. coli strains from bird nests showed significant antibiotic resistance, notably to tetracycline and amoxicillin-clavulanate.
More than 53% of bird nests contained E. coli, with concentrations ranging 2.0x10¹ to 2.8x10² CFU/g.
Isolates were confirmed using cultural characteristics and biochemical reactions, highlighting methodological rigor in identifying strains.
These findings underscore the role of bird nests as reservoirs for antibiotic-resistant bacteria, raising public health concerns.
