We compared the phenotypic characteristics to non-ESBL-producing <i>E. coli</i> from the same background (Mongolian wild birds) and genomic results to publicly available genomes.<h4>Results and conclusion</h4>We found ESBL-producing <i>E. coli</i> sequence type (ST) 1159 among wild birds in Mongolia. This clonal lineage carried virulence features typical for extra-intestinal pathogenic or enterotoxigenic <i>E. coli.</i> Comparative functional experiments suggested no burden of resistance in the ST1159 isolates, which is despite their carriage of ESBL-plasmids.
