The interaction of two cytolytic toxins, Cyt1Ab from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. medellia and Cyt2Ba from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp, israelensis, with Bacillus sphaericus was evaluated against susceptible and resistant Culex quinquefasciatus and the nonsensitive species Aedes aegypti. Mixtures of B. sphaericus with either cytolytic toxin were synergistic, and B. sphaericus resistance in e, quinquefasciatus was suppressed from > 17,000- to 2-fold with a 3:1 mixture of B. sphaericus and Cyt1Ab. This trait may prove useful for combating insecticide resistance and for improving the activity of microbial insecticides.
