Persistence of marine bacterial plasmid in the house fly (Musca domestica): marine-derived antimicrobial resistance genes have a chance of invading the human environment
2023-10-27
Abstract excerpt
The house fly is known to be a vector of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) in animal farms. It is also possible that the house fly contributes to the spread of ARB and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) among various environments. We hypothesized that ARB and ARGs present in marine fish and fishery food may gain access to humans via the house fly. We show herein that pAQU1, a marine bacterial ARG-bearing plasmid...
