Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBL) provide high level resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics among bacteria. In this study, previously described multidrug resistant bacteria from raw, treated, and municipal taps of DWDS from selected dams in southwestern Nigeria were assessed for the presence of ESBL resistance genes which include  bla   TEM ,  bla   SHV , and  bla   CTX  by PCR amplification. A total of 164 bacteria spread across treated (33), raw (66), and municipal taps (68), belonging to  α -Proteobacteria,  β -Proteobacteria, γ-Proteobacteria, Flavobacteriia, Bacilli, and Actinobacteria group, were selected for this study. Among these bacteria, the most commonly observed resistance was for ampicillin and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (61 isolates). Sixty-one isolates carried at least one of the targeted ESBL genes with  bla   TEM  being the most abundant (50/61) and  bla   CTX  being detected least (3/61).  Klebsiella  was the most frequently identified genus (18.03%) to harbour ESBL gene followed by  Proteus  (14.75%). Moreover, combinations of two ESBL genes,  bla   SHV  +  bla   TEM  or  bla   CTX  +  bla   TEM , were observed in 11 and 1 isolate, respectively. In conclusion, classic  bla   TEM  ESBL gene was present in multiple bacterial strains that were isolated from DWDS sources in Nigeria. These environments may serve as foci exchange of genetic traits in a diversity of Gram-negative bacteria.
