The largest study of the nasal microbiome reveals how bacterial communities shape risk of Staphlococcus aureus infection.

Persistent carriers show fewer bacterial species in the nose, while some microbes may help block colonisation.👇

Great to share the latest work from our group and collaborators. First CARRIAGE study paper led by @drdaggarwal.bsky.social and the heroic efforts of Katie Bellis and Beth Blane in the lab plus all the team at @cambridge-ceu.bsky.social Huge thanks goes to the 22,000 participants of the study
People who persistently carry the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus have a much less diverse community of bacteria in their nose, while certain species may help keep it out. 🦠

These findings offer insight into who may be at higher risk of infection. 👇
