Background   Antimicrobial resistance has become a huge problem in animal and public health worldwide. Inadvertent use of antibiotics in poultry has led to the emergence of resistance against many antibiotics, even to last resort of drugs like colistin.Aim   This study aimed to provide uniform quantitative estimate on the percentage prevalence of  E .  coli  as well as to analyze their colistin resistance in poultry in South Asian developing countries.Methods   Two electronic databases, PubMed and Research4Life, were used to search studies as per the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. The pooled data on the prevalence of  E .  coli  and colistin resistance were analyzed.Results   In the meta-analysis of 9 studies in South Asian region (Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and India), the pooled prevalence of  E .  coli  was 73% (95% CI, 0.549–0.916). The pooled prevalence of colistin resistance against  E .  coli  from poultry was found to be 28% (95% CI, 0.158–0.438).Conclusion   There is high prevalence of  E .  coli  and their resistance rate against colistin in poultry. Therefore, antimicrobials in raising livestock should be supervised.
