Here, we obtained bacterial isolates and assessed the AMR profiles and extended-spectrum \u03b2-lactamase (ESBL) production of\n                    <jats:italic>Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic>\n                    isolated from fecal samples of wild felids in a protected Atlantic Forest area in southeastern Brazil.
