First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 18, 2026 · Updated 35 times

Summary

This early-stage study tests whether transferring nasal bacteria from a parent to a child can help restore the child's nasal microbiome after they've been treated with antibiotics for staph bacteria. About 175 children under 18 who have completed staph treatment will receive a nasal transplant from their parent. The main goal is to see if this increases the diversity of bacteria in the child's nose.
