A lovely story, well written, starting with keen observation, pursued logically and exciting in its implications. If it is found, as surmised, that nasal carriage of SA is secondary to gut carriage, that would indeed be important. Alternatively, it is may be that the bacillus inhibitors of AIP can reach the nares from the gut and inhibit colonization there also.
