The objective of this study was to isolate and identify bacteria found in natural
association with adults of Musca domestica.In this study adults of Musca dometica
were collected from four sites in Sulamani city,Kudistan,Iraq to isolate and identify
bacteria on the external surface of house flies . Bacteria from fly samples isolated
using the conventional isolation technique were E.coli , Pseudomonas aeruginosa ,
Staphylococcus albus , Staphylococcus aureus , Salmonella sp. and Klebsiella sp. The
results of current study confirm that the houseflies are much more than nuisance and
they pose potentially serious health risks. Consequently, the population of houseflies
has to be controlled.
