This study investigates the prevalence and resistance profiles of Escherichia coli in frozen chicken meat in Fiji, revealing that 72% of samples were contaminated with E. coli, with significant resistance to various antibiotics. Notably, one isolate was identified as an extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producer, and another exhibited colistin resistance due to a chromosomal mutation. The findings highlight the need for improved hygiene practices and ongoing antimicrobial resistance surveillance in Fiji
