This study is designed to investigate Escherichia coli for the antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and integrons from healthy as well as diarrhoeic/diseased animals/birds’ faecal samples. A total of eight samples were selected for the study; from each animal, two samples were taken, one from healthy animals/birds and one from diarrhoeic/diseased animals/birds. Antibiotic sensitivity testing (AST) and whole genome sequencing (WGS) was performed for selected isolates. The E. coli isolates showed resistance to moxifloxacin, followed by erythromycin, ciprofloxacin, pefloxacin, tetracycline, levofloxacin, ampicillin, amoxicillin, and sulfadiazine (4/8, 50.00% each). The E. coli isolates were 100% sensitive to amikacin, followed by chloramphenicol, cefixime, cefoperazone, and cephalothin. A total of 47 ARGs from 12 different antibiotic classes were detected among the eight isolates by WGS. The different classes of antibiotics included aminoglycoside, sulphonamide, tetracycline, trimethoprim, quinolone, fosfomycin, phenicol, macrolide, colistin, fosmidomycin, and multidrug efflux. The class 1 integrons were detected in 6/8 (75.00%) isolates with 14 different gene cassettes.
