| description | House flies are of public health concern for their high potential to be carriers of
communicable diseases to both human and animals. There is an urgency to explore
if the house flies can carry disease–causing bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract that
can greatly amplify the risk of human and animal exposure to diseases. The aim of
the present study is to study the carriage of Salmonella spp. and Escherichia coli by
house flies collected from three local eateries that are frequented by students and
staffs of University Putra Malaysia (UPM) and from another three poultry farms in
Selangor. This study also aims to investigate the evidence of antibiotic resistance of the isolated bacteria. A total of 60 samples of house flies were caught using sticky
papers from three local eateries around UPM and three poultry farms in Selangor.
The finding reveals only 3.33% of the total 60 house flies samples collected from
both eateries and poultry were confirmed positive for Salmonella spp. The positive
samples were shown to exhibit antibiotic resistance towards Amoxicillin. This study
also revealed that 56.67% of the total 60 house flies samples caught from the three
local eateries around UPM and three poultry farms in Selangor carry Escherichia
coli.Most of the Escherichia coli isolateswere found to be resistant to Amoxicillin,
Streptomycin and Ceftriaxone. House flies are evidently proven to be able to carry
both Salmonella spp. and Escherichia coli and these bacteria do potentially carry
antibiotic resistance gene based on the resistant patterns exhibited. |
