This study was aimed at evaluating the microbiological quality of mangrove oysters (Crassostrea rhizophorae), collected at a natural oyster bed in the estuary of Cocó river (Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil). MPN values were used for estimating the total (TC) and fecal (FC) coliforms and Enterococcus spp. TC and FC MPN values in the whole muscle and intervalve liquid ranged from &lt;1.8 to &gt;1,600/g and from &lt;1.8 to 920/g, respectively. The MPN estimates for Enterococcus spp. were between &lt;3.0 and &gt;1,100/g. No correlation was found between the physico-chemical parameters (temperature, salinity and pH) of the surrounding water and the bacteriological contamination levels found in the tested oysters. The only correlation found was between TC and FC...
