Nasal Microbiota Transplant for Staphylococcus aureus Colonization
(NMT Protocol 3 Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This protocol aims to evaluate how NMT affects pediatric nasal microbiome diversity following intranasal mupirocin treatment
How does Nasal Microbiota Transplant (NMT) differ from other treatments for Staphylococcus aureus colonization?
Nasal Microbiota Transplant (NMT) is unique because it involves transferring beneficial bacteria to the nose to restore a healthy balance, unlike traditional treatments that use antibiotics to kill bacteria, which can disrupt the natural microbiota and lead to rapid recolonization by Staphylococcus aureus.12345
