| Abstract | Due to their proximity to human populations, mangrove ecosystems, although well known for providing remarkable ecosystem services to humans, are subject to pressures that threaten their sustainability. Wastewater, one of the many types of waste discharged into these environments, is the source of public health problems and ecological disruption of the aquatic ecosystem. This literature review focused on the microbiological quality, including antibiotic resistance profiles, and the physicochemical quality of mangrove waters in the Western biogeographic area. Articles analysed, whose work focused on the aquatic ecosystems of several African and American countries, show that anthropogenic impact on these ecosystems greatly varies the abundance of microorganisms such as Salmonella, E. coli, Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus, etc., and environmental parameters such as dissolved oxygen and conductivity. These changes are more significant during rainy periods than during dry seasons. These bacteria were found to be resistant to antibiotics such as Augmentin, Cefuroxine and Cefixime, confirming that these ecosystems play an important role in the spread of bacteria, particularly those that are resistant to antibiotics. |
