N2  - Musca domestica is one of the most important agents in the transmission of pathogenic organisms from contaminated materials to the human body. In various studies, the role of flies in the transmission of many diseases has been well-proven. The purpose of this study was to investigate the bacterial contamination of Musca domestica in different sources. In this study, samples were collected from slaughterhouses, coastal areas, hospital grounds, and urban and rural waste. After collection, the samples were transferred into sterile glass containers and then the isolation and identification of bacterial species was done in the laboratory. Based on the obtained results, Escherichia coli was the dominant species in this study. From all the examined samples, most of the contaminations were related to E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter aerogenes, and Staphylococcus epidermidis, respectively. Based on the results of this study, it can be said that the presence of these insects in public centers can be carriers of pathogenic agents. Considering the necessity of preventing the spread of infection and pollution in public places and different parts of the environment, it seems necessary to improve and carry out sanitary engineering measures to control these insects.
