Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli from Houseflies in Commercial Turkey Farms Are Frequently Resistant to Multiple Antimicrobials and Exhibit Pronounced Genotypic Diversity

Pathogens, 2023
Campylobacter is a leading foodborne pathogen, and poultry are a major vehicle for infection. Houseflies play important roles in colonization of broiler flocks with Campylobacter but comparable information for turkey farms is limited.

Molecular characterization of multidrug-resistant bacteria isolated from the external and internal parts of the housefly

Journal of Advanced Biotechnology and Experimental Therapeutics, 2023
House flies are mechanical vectors of food borne enteric pathogenic bacteria which may transfer isolates to human and produce diseases. In Bangladesh, there is very limited data on molecular characterization of drug-resistant bacteria from isolated house

Detection of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and their resistance genes from houseflies [PDF]

Veterinary World, 2020
Background and Aim: Houseflies (Musca domestica) are synanthropic insects which serve as biological or mechanical vectors for spreading multidrug-resistant bacteria responsible for many infectious diseases. This study aimed to detect antibiotic-resistant

Transgenerational effects of lambda-cyhalothrin on Musca domestica L. (Diptera: Muscidae)

Scientific Reports, 2022
The hormetic effect may cause disease control measures to fail due to inadequate treatment of human disease vectors such as houseflies. Age-stage, two-sex life table is used for accurate estimation of the hermetic impacts on insects as it allows to study

Bacterial pathogens identified from houseflies in different human and animal settings: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Veterinary Medicine and Science, 2022
Housefly (Musca domestica) is an excellent candidate for the distribution of susceptible and resistant bacterial strains that potentially threaten public health. To date, there is a paucity of information on the global distribution of pathogenic bacteria
