- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Main Objective: To identify nasal microbial communities associated with S. aureus carriage and to study the influence over time of S. aureus targeted decolonization treatment on these microbial communities.;Secondary Objective: To investigate the time of recolonization by S. aureus (MSSA/MRSA) after decolonization in relation to the nasal microbiome and if so, whether this is recolonization with the same (own) strain or a newly acquired different strain.;Primary end point(s): The degree of change in microbiome composition over time after S. aureus decolonisation therapy;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: End of trial
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Secondary end point(s): Not applicable;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Not applicable
