This study characterized extended-spectrum \u03b2-lactamase <jats:italic>Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic> (ESBL-<jats:italic>E<\/jats:italic>. <jats:italic>coli<\/jats:italic>) isolates from farm sources and open markets in Edo State, Nigeria. A total of 254 samples were obtained in Edo State and included representatives from agricultural farms (soil, manure, irrigation water) and vegetables from open markets, which included ready-to-eat (RTE) salads and vegetables which could potentially be consumed uncooked. Samples were culturally tested for the ESBL phenotype using ESBL selective media, and isolates were further identified and characterized via polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for \u03b2-lactamase and other antibiotic resistance determinants. ESBL <jats:italic>E<\/jats:italic>. <jats:italic>coli<\/jats:italic> strains isolated from agricultural farms included 68% (17\/25) from the soil, 84% (21\/25) from manure and 28% (7\/25) from irrigation water and 24.4% (19\/78) from vegetables. ESBL <jats:italic>E<\/jats:italic>. <jats:italic>coli<\/jats:italic> were also isolated from RTE salads at 20% (12\/60) and vegetables obtained from vendors and open markets at 36.6% (15\/41). A total of 64 <jats:italic>E<\/jats:italic>. <jats:italic>coli<\/jats:italic> isolates were identified using PCR. Upon further characterization, 85.9% (55\/64) of the isolates were resistant to \u2265 3 and \u2264 7 antimicrobial classes, which allows for characterizing these as being multidrug-resistant. The MDR isolates from this study harboured \u22651 and \u22645 AMR determinants. The MDR isolates also harboured \u22651 and \u22643 beta-lactamase genes. Findings from this study showed that fresh vegetables and salads could be contaminated with ESBL-<jats:italic>E<\/jats:italic>. <jats:italic>coli<\/jats:italic>, particularly fresh produce from farms that use untreated water for irrigation. Appropriate measures, including improving irrigation water quality and agricultural practices, need to be implemented, and global regulatory guiding principles are crucial to ensure public health and consumer safety.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0282835","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,10]],"date-time":"2023-03-10T18:31:49Z","timestamp":1678473109000},"page":"e0282835","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["Multidrug-resistant extended spectrum \u03b2-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli from farm produce and agricultural environments in Edo State, Nigeria"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7441-2145","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Etinosa O.","family":"Igbinosa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abeni","family":"Beshiru","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Isoken H.","family":"Igbinosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3639-6663","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Gyu-Sung","family":"Cho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9726-1845","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Charles M.
