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 variati...
