n1=number of E. coli isolates from beef sample,n2=number of E. coli isolates from sheep meat sample. N1= Total number of E. coli isolates from beef sample, N2= Total number of E. coli isolates from sheep meat sample.Cefo = Cefotaxime, Cefta = Ceftazidime, Ceftri = Ceftriaxone, Azo=Aztreonam, Cefo +Ceftri= Cefotaxime +Ceftriaxone.a An unreplicated two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to calculate the P values. P values less than 0.05 are bolded. # Variance between beef and sheep meat. ## Variance among the four districts under study.b E. coli isolate showing resistance to both Cefotaxime and Ceftriaxone was considered ESBL-producing in accordance with the recommendations by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
