Medical Research Agency Grant: Non-commercial, randomized clinical trial evaluating the efficacy of 1-8-cineol (18C) in the treatment of MRSA nasal carriage (NOSE).

The NOSE project is the first non-commercial, randomized clinical trial in Poland and worldwide evaluating the local efficacy of a natural compound - 1,8-cineole (eucalyptol) administered systemically in eliminating methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) carriage from the nasal cavity. MRSA is one of the most dangerous alarm microorganisms, responsible for severe hospital infections, postoperative complications and high mortality.
