Effect of Bacterial Lysate on Nasal Carriage of Staphylococcus Aureus

Summary

This study assesses the effectiveness of Polyvalent Mechanical Bacterial Lysate (PMBL-Ismigen) in reducing nasal methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colony growth in children with pollen allergic rhinitis (AR) aged 5 to 17. Half of the participants received PMBL and the other half received a placebo.
