Summary

This early-phase study tests whether transferring a parent's nasal bacteria to a child can restore the child's nasal microbiome after antibiotic treatment for staph colonization. About 175 children under 18 who have completed staph treatment will receive the transplant. The goal is to see if this approach safely increases bacterial diversity in the nose.
