Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli has been linked to both life-threatening hospital- and community-acquired infections across the globe. Here, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the prevalence of ESBL in E. coli isolated from humans, animals, and environments in Bangladesh. Following the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, the current systematic review and meta-analysis was taken into account for studies published between 2010 and 2021 in peer-reviewed journals. The meta-analysis was performed on “R” version 4.2.2. A total of 36 studies were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis; among them, 22 were human, seven were animal, four were environmental, and three were multidisciplinary studies. The meta-analysis revealed that the pooled prevalence of ESBL-producing E. coli in Bangladesh was 21% (95% CI: 15%–27%). On the sample basis, the pooled prevalence of ESBL-producing E. coli in humans, animals, and environments was 17% (95% CI: 11%–23%), 22% (95% CI: 9%–34%), and 39% (95% CI: 16%–62%), respectively. All the pooled prevalence of ESBL-producing E. coli showed substantial heterogeneity (I2 > 75%; p |
