Parents' noses could help kids fight off dangerous germs

NCT ID NCT06805994

Summary

This study is testing whether transferring a small amount of healthy bacteria from a parent's nose to their child's nose can help restore the child's natural nasal defenses after antibiotic treatment. The goal is to see if this 'microbiome transplant' can make it harder for Staphylococcus aureus (staph) bacteria to grow back and cause infections. Researchers at Johns Hopkins are enrolling up to 175 children and their parents to see if this approach is safe and effective.
