Outline of Final Research Achievements

Domestic insects have been implicated in the dissemination of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and resistance determinants. Houseflies are the most commonly occurring groups of synanthropic flies. Because of their developmental habitat, the mode of feeding by regurgitation, frequent fecal deposition, high dispersal ability, close contact with humans, and free movement between food animals and human residences, these flies are potential vectors of bacteria originating from animal manure and other decaying organic matter. The housefly has been demonstrated to harbor a considerable number of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In this study, we monitored the whole bacterial community by a culture-independent method. Our results provide us with a better understanding of the interaction between synanthropic flies and the antibiotic-resistant bacteria that they harbor.
