Abstract: This study aimed to verify the occurrence of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains in three distinct anatomic parts of the stable fly Stomoxys calcitrans by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR Multiplex). According to the results obtained, E. coli was identified in 19.5% of the stable flies. Shiga toxin genes were detected in 13% of the E. coli isolated, most frequently from the surface, followed by abdominal digestive tract and mouth apparatus of insects, respectively. This is the first s… Show more

“…associated with bovine mastitis and Vibrio sp., suggesting the potential of this fly to act as a reservoir for pathogens. Unlike bacterial community surveys of stable flies from dairies in Brazil, Salmonella and Escherichia coli were not prevalent in this US sampling [159, 160].…”

“…When contaminated food is consumed, EHEC can cause bloody diarrhea and the disease may progress to the life-threatening hemolytic uremic syndrome [ 2 ]. In addition to humans [ 3 ] and contaminated food, EHEC persists in many environments, such as soil [ 4 ], plants [ 5 ], invertebrates [ 6 ], and cattle [ 7 ]. These environments represent various challenges requiring expression of a different set of bacterial genes [ 8 ].…”
