Abstract:
We present a collection of over 1,100 bacterial isolates from hematophagous Stomoxys flies and cow manure. Genome assemblies and antimicrobial susceptibility data are available for a subset of isolates. This resource supports studies of bacterial ecology, host-vector interactions, and potential roles in bovine mastitis.
