Cage birds like canaries can potentially harbor human pathogens and contribute to transmission and spread o drug resistant inectious agents to human. Considering many people's interests to keep canaries, present study was conducted in canaries rom Yazd to investigate the beta-lactam antibiotics resistant Escherichia coli. 109 E. coli isolates rom canary aeces in Yazd were evaluated to investigate the resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics by disc diusion method. Resistance o isolates to Imipenem, Ceotaxime, Ceixime, Cealexin, Amoxicillin, Penicillin G and Oxacillin was 0%, 5.5%, 44%, 95.4%, 95.4%, 100% and 100% respectively. Canaries harbored beta-lactam antibiotics resistant E. coli and could be an important component o drug-resistant inections transmission rom cage birds to human, especially kids and can pose a potential risk to human health in the region. It is recommended to make pet birds owners and general public aware o potential dangers o cage birds keeping.
