Comparing Single Versus Repeat NMT on the Diversity of the Neonatal Nasal Microbiome

United States175 participantsStarted 2024-09-03

Plain-language summary

This study aims to determine whether a parent-to-child nasal microbiota transplant (NMT) can seed and engraft parental organisms into the neonatal microbiome and increase the neonatal microbiome diversity.

Inclusion criteria

✓. Neonate has anticipated NICU length of stay \> 7 days
✓. Neonate ≥25 weeks gestation
✓. At least one parent/adult provider not colonized with S. aureus (as determined by baseline screening)
✓. Neonate is not colonized with S. aureus on baseline screening

Exclusion criteria

✕. Neonate has had a prior clinical or surveillance culture grow S. aureus
✕. Neonate is a ward of the State
✕. Neonate with antenatal suspicion for immunodeficiency (e.g. sibling with known immunodeficiency, genetic syndrome with known associated immunodeficiency)
✕. Neonate cannot have nasal swabs collected (due to anatomic or other clinical intervention, including nasal packing)
✕. Parent/adult provider had positive COVID-19 test in prior 21 days
✕. Parent/adult provider with signs or symptoms of respiratory illness (e.g. runny nose, congestion, fever, cough)
✕. Parent/adult provider has been in close contact with someone in the last 7 days who had a respiratory viral infection, like the cold or the flu?
✕. Parent/adult provider tests positive on baseline screening test for S. aureus nasal colonization.
