Total of 60 chicken meat samples from ten traditional markets, with each market contributing 6 samples. The ESBL-producing E. coli were tested for susceptibility using disk diffusion method as described by Bauer. The study affirmed the presence of ESBL producing E. coli in chicken meats from traditional market Surabaya. The highest resistance from E. coli isolates was recorded against ceftriaxone (87%) followed by cefotaxime (75%), aztreonam (70%) and ceftazidime (28,3%).The presence of ESBL producing E. coli in the chicken meats is alarming and requires adaptation of hygienic practices and controlling use of antibiotics.
