Steinberg et al. explore the associations between the nasal microbiota, respiratory tract infections (RTIs) and antibiotics in infants with cystic fibrosis (CF) and controls during the first year of life. Infants with CF have a different microbiota before their first RTI or antibiotic treatment, with lower diversity linked to higher number of RTIs.
