AIMS: Environmental dissemination of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) pathogens is a growing global concern under the One Health framework, yet remains underexplored in biodiverse and human-impacted ecosystems such as Brazil's coastal lagoons. This study assessed the occurrence and distribution of AMR bacteria, including WHO-designated critical-priority pathogens, in water, sediment, and avifauna from Lagoa da Conceição, a coastal lagoon in southern Brazil.
METHODS AND RESULTS: From December 2022 to November 2023, 96 environmental and 251 avian samples were collected and analyzed using selective culture, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and molecular screening for resistance genes. A total of 625 bacterial isolates were recovered from water and sediment, of which 35.5% were multidrug-resistant and 26.7% met WHO critical-priority criteria. Key resistance genes identified included blaTEM, blaCTX-M, blaNDM, blaOXA-143, and mcr-1, with high spatial heterogeneity across sampling sites. WHO critical-priority pathogens were also isolated from 9.6% of sampled birds, suggesting the role of avifauna as environmental sentinels and reservoirs. Generalized linear models revealed that population density and precipitation were positively associated with the abundance of critical-priority isolates.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings highlight anthropogenic and climatic drivers of AMR dissemination in coastal environments and underscore the urgent need for integrated monitoring and mitigation strategies to protect ecosystems and public health.
