| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this project, we clarified the role of flies and mice in the spreading of antimicrobial resistant bacteria and antimicrobial resistance genes among livestock, human clinical settings, and environments. Especially in flies, they were received the antimicrobial resistant bacteria and antimicrobial resistance genes from livestock in a farm. And then they moved to other farms. Therefore, flies may be involved not only in spreading clones of antimicrobial resistant bacteria within a farm but also in the widespread dissemination of plasmids with antimicrobial resistance genes between farms. In addition, flies contain the antimicrobial resistant bacteria and antimicrobial resistance genes throughout their life.
