(1) To determine the effects of abiotic factors such as operation size (heads of cattle), location, time, weather, manure management practices, pest management, etc. on the abundance, prevalence, richness and diversity of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacteria in flies and environmental samples (manure, water, feed). (2) To characterize genotype and antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) from enteric strains that are shared among flies and environmental samples through whole genome sequencing (WGS).
