  • Nasal carriers were split into two groups to receive either XF-73 nasal gel or a placebo, administered five times over approximately 24 hours before cardiac surgery.
  • Patients using XF-73 showed a significant reduction in bacteria levels after two doses, with a decrease of -2.2 log CFU/mL, while the placebo group had almost no reduction at -0.01 log CFU/mL.
  • Post-surgery, 46.5% of the XF-73 group required anti-staphylococcal antibiotics compared to 70% in the placebo group, indicating a significant reduction in post-operative antibiotic usage for those treated with XF-73 (p = 0.045).
