Abstract :
Houseflies are the most common insects and they survive in almost all extreme environmental conditions. It harbors enormous bacterial flora over its body. They successfully survive even in living in very aasive conditions without any effect on them. They eed in garbage, compost, unhygienic conditions, animal manure etc. They are responsible for transmission of various diseases like dysentery, cholera and other diseases. However, the maggots (larval stages) of houseflies are recently used for treating chronic infected wounds successfully as a deidement therapy. Therefore, it is interesting to know the antibacterial activity of extract of houseflies, hence the present investigation was undertaken to know the native microbial flora from adult and its larvae. And also the study was extended to know the role of the houseflies in prevention of bacterial infections. Antibacterial activity was determined by Agar diffusion method. The bacterial pathogen used for the present study showed inhibitory action for the larval extract of houseflies, Musca domestica.
