Interesting - how is it not outcompeted by regular staph? Wouldn't it be over a long enough time period without introducing it to methicillin?

I didn't pick up regular staph -- I picked up an already moderately resistant strain that became more resistant due to treatments stopped too-early due to both allergic reactions (my issue), illness/vomiting due to collapsed "stomach biome" (my issue), and undersized prescription lengths (doctors issue).

Recently, a combination of b. infantis EVC001 and HMOs was used to stably reverse dysbiosis in adults [1].

I take that probiotic, sold as Evivo in the US, and Layer Origin 2’FL HMO and use it with my children.
