Bivalve mollusks face a crisis due to infectious diseases, resulting in high mortality and economic losses. The need for continuous monitoring prevent contamination from sewage rainwater aquaculture is evident. recent mass of scallops Ilha Grande Bay (IGB), Rio de Janeiro’s largest scallop producer, environmental contaminants underscores the further research. This study aims investigate collapse population assess human impact by analyzing circulation pathogens. Materials Methods: Mollusks were collected three sites region known its significant production, farms Angra dos Reis, RJ. A total 216 gill adductor tissue samples lion’s foot analyzed. Bacterial was identified using MALDI-TOF, while antimicrobial susceptibility carbapenem production assessed via disk diffusion tests. Results: contaminated with V. alginolyticus, fluvialis, harveyi, Pseudomonas putida, monteilii. All isolates sensitive meropenem, but P. putida showed higher resistance ciprofloxacin. Conclusions: presence these pathogenic resistant bacteria tissues concern industry public health risk. potential enter food chain through consuming seafood or recreational activities such as bathing serious issue that needs be addressed.
