The housefly (Musca domestica) is an important host for a variety of bacteria, including some pathogenic and antibiotic-resistant strains. To further investigate the relationship between the housefly and the bacteria it harbors, it is necessary to understand the fate of microorganisms during the larval metamorphosis. The major bacterial communities in three developmental stages of the housefly (maggot, pupa, and adult fly) were investigated by a culture-independent method, polymerase chain reaction–denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR−DGGE) analysis of 16S rRNA genes. The bacteria that were identified using DGGE analysis spanned phylaProteobacteria,Firmicutes, andBacteroidetes. Changes in the predominant genera were observed during the housefly development.Bacteroides,Koukoulia, andSchineriawere detected in maggots,Neisseriain pupae, andMacrococcus,Lactococcus, andKurthiain adult flies. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria were screened using a selective medium and tested for antibiotic susceptibility. Most resistant isolates from maggots and pupae were classified asProteusspp., while those from adult flies were much more diverse and spanned 12 genera. Among 20 tested strains across the three stages, 18 were resistant to at least two antibiotics. Overall, we demonstrated that there are changes in the major bacterial communities and antibiotic-resistant strains as the housefly develops.
