Methomyl (cas 16752-77-5) (S-methyl-1-N-[(methylcarbamoyl)oxy]thioacetimidate) is a carbamate pesticide. It has been noted that in some cases of methomyl poisoning, methomyl is either not detected or detected only in low concentrations in the blood of the victims. However, in such cases, methomyl is detected at higher concentrations in the vitreous humor than in the blood. This indicates that methomyl in the blood is possibly decomposed after death. However, the reasons for this phenomenon have been unclear. We have previously reported that methomyl is decomposed to dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) in the livers and kidneys of pigs but not in their blood. In addition, in the field of forensic toxicology, it is known that some compounds are decomposed or produced by internal bacteria in biological samples after death. This indicates that there is a possibility that methomyl in blood may be decomposed by bacteria after death. The aim of this study was therefore to investigate whether methomyl in blood is decomposed by bacteria isolated from human stool. Our findings demonstrated that methomyl was decomposed in human stool homogenates, resulting in the generation of DMDS. In addition, it was observed that three bacterial species isolated from the stool homogenates, Bacillus cereus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Bacillus sp., showed methomyl-decomposing activity. The results therefore indicated that one reason for the difficulty in detecting methomyl in postmortem blood from methomyl-poisoning victims is the decomposition of methomyl by internal bacteria such as B. cereus, P. aeruginosa, and Bacillus sp.
