Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has emerged as a significant global health threat, contributing to the reduced efficacy of antibiotics. House flies (Musca domestica), which are common in human environments such as animal houses and hospitals, have been implicated in the transmission of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This study focuses on the isolation, identification, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing of bacteria collected from house flies in animal houses and hospital settings. The findings indicate a high prevalence of resistant bacterial species, including Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterococcus faecalis, many of which showed multidrug resistance. These results highlight the need for improved environmental and hygiene control measures to mitigate the spread of AMR.
