Abstract : Extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing bacteria becomes a serious worldwide public threat. ESBL is not just limited to human health sector but also encounter animals and environment. This review article tries to summarise overall prevalence of ESBL among food producing animals and animal derived food in India. It also specified zone-wise prevalence of ESBL producing bacteria with genes related to ESBL. Systematic search from Google Scholar and PubMed was performed to find out ESBL related articles from 2013 to September 2021. Analysis of eligible 28 articles showed higher prevalence of ESBL in north-eastern region of India. The species wise study results showed a higher occurrence of ESBL producing E. coli, followed by K. pneumoniae. This study on prevalence of ESBL in animals could be useful in planning of nationalise approach in decreasing burden of antimicrobial resistance and management of antibiotics in animals.
