The study of enterococcal species present in 16 species of synanthropic flies revealed the predominance of Str. faecalis and its variants, a high percentage of fly populations being infected. The spectrum of enterococci was proved to depend on the living conditions of the flies. The percentage of Musca domestica with the infected digestive tract was found to vary with changes in the age composition of the fly population.
