Abstract

Seventy five house fly Musca domestica were collected from Mosul city, the higher account of isolated bacteria is 5.980 310 CFU/ ml from the body compare with right and left wings 5.78 310 and 5.6 310 CFU/ ml respectively . Species belonged to Bacillus cereus, Acinitobacter spp., Proteus vulgaris , Streptomyces spp. , Aeromonas spp., Micrococcus luteus, Escherichia coli Staphylococcus aureus , Pseudomonas aeruginosa , isolated from the right wing while Lactobacillus spp. , Bacillus mycoides , Micrococcus roseus , Alcaligenes spp. , Neisseria spp. , Proteus vulgaris , Pseud. aeruginosa were isolated from the left wing.
The isolated species from the right and left wings shown diffrent antibacterial activities against the isolates of the same and the opposite wings. while the Streptomyces spp. isolated from the right and the Bacillus mycoides which isolated from the left wings shown effect on the most detected species under the study. The bacteriophage of the species belong to Acinitobacter spp., Proteus vulgaris , Micrococcus luteus , Alcaligenes spp. , Bacillus mycoides and Pseud. aeruginosa were isolated from the fly under the study.
