Differential microbial responses to antibiotic treatments by insecticide-resistant and susceptible cockroach strains (Blattella germanica L.)
Abstract The German cockroach (Blattella germanica L.) is a major urban pest worldwide and is known for its ability to resist insecticides. Past research has shown that gut bacteria in other insects can metabolize xenobiotics, allowing the host to develop resistance. The research presented here dete...
