  "abstract": "Antimicrobial resistance is a problem for public health. We sought to assess the multiple antibiotic resistance analyses by searching for resistant microorganisms in five Brazilian beaches. The analyses showed pH (5.2-8.5), temperature (21.2°C-27.5°C), and dissolved oxygen (DO) (4.0-8.5 mg L⁻¹). Bacterial indicators peaked during the high season, notably at Beach 5 (4.60 × 10² ± 1.71 × 10² MPN.100 mL⁻¹), although Beaches 1 (p 0.056) and 2 (p 0.097) showed significant seasonal coliform variation (p < 0.10). Overall, 83.3% of isolated Escherichia coli strains were resistant to at least one antibiotic, mainly strains resistant to imipenem (45.0%) and cefazolin (35.0%). Multivariate analysis explained 86.70% of the variance, which resulted in high antibiotic resistance index-IRAp (e.g., IRApBeach5 0.818, IRApBeach1 0.273) and multiple antibiotic resistance (MARBeach2 = 0.60). Significant anthropogenic pressure-driven by untreated wastewater, proximity to the continent, ports, industrial complexes, and overpopulation contributed to the proliferation of resistant microorganisms, whereas rainfall leakage contributed to resilience in the area.",
