Housefly (Musca domestica) and blow fly (Protophormia terraenovae) as vectors of bacteria carrying colistin resistance genes
Flies have the capacity to transfer pathogens between different environments, acting as one
of the most important vectors of human diseases worldwide. In this study, we trapped flies on
a university campus and tested them for mobile resistance genes against colistin, a last-
resort antibiotic in human medicine for treating clinical infections caused by multidrug-
resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Quantitative PCR assays we developed showed that
34.1% of Musca domestica (86/252) and 51.1% of Protophormia terraenovae (23/45) …
