Background Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli are a major contributor to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in healthcare settings, yet their genomic diversity and population structure remain poorly characterized in low-resource settings. Orthopaedic wards may facilitate persistence and transmission due to prolonged hospitalization, frequent antimicrobial exposure, and increased patient vulnerability. This study investigated the genomic characteristics of ESBL-producing
