Aedes albopictus gut symbiotic bacterium Bacillus cereus improves its deltamethrin resistance
Bacillus cereus_HL4.2 infection reduces deltamethrin susceptibility in Ae. albopictus primarily through two complementary mechanisms: (i) metabolic upregulation of detoxification enzymes and related genes, and (ii) direct enzymatic degradation of deltamethrin. Genetically modifying B. cereus_HL4.2 may offer a potential strategy for managing insecticide resistance in mosquitoes.
