description <h4>Introduction</h4> The composition of the nasal microbiota in surgical patients in the context of general anesthesia and nasal povidone-iodine decolonization is unknown. The purpose of this quality improvement study was to determine: (i) if general anesthesia is associated with changes in the nasal microbiota of surgery patients and (ii) if preoperative intranasal povidone-iodine decolonization is associated with changes in the nasal microbiota of surgery patients. <h4>Materials and methods</h4> One hundred and fifty-one ambulatory patients presenting for surgery were enrolled in a quality improvement study by convenience sampling. Pre- and post-surgery nasal samples were collected from patients in the no intranasal decolonization group (control group, n = 54). Pre-decolonization nasal samples were collected from the preoperative intranasal povidone-iodine decolonization group (povidone-iodine group, n = 97). Intranasal povidone-iodine was administered immediately prior to surgery and continued for 20 minutes before patients proceeded for surgery. Post-nasal samples were then collected. General anesthesia was administered to both groups. DNA from the samples was extracted for 16S rRNA sequencing on an Illumina MiSeq. <h4>Results</h4> In the control group, there was no evidence of change in bacterial diversity between pre- and post-surgery samples. In the povidone-iodine group, nasal bacterial diversity was greater in post-surgery, relative to pre-surgery (Shannon’s Diversity Index (P = 0.038), Chao’s richness estimate (P = 0.02) and Inverse Simpson index (P = 0.027). Among all the genera, only the relative abundance of the genus Staphylococcus trended towards a decrease in patients after application (FDR adjusted P = 0.06). Abundant genera common to both povidone-iodine and control groups included Staphylococcus, Bradyrhizobium, Corynebacterium, Dolosigranulum, Lactobacillus, and Moraxella. <h4>Conclusions</h4> We found general anesthesia was not associated with changes in the nasal microbiota. Povidone-iodine treatment was associated with nasal microbial diversity and decreased abundance of Staphylococcus. Future studies should examine the nasal microbiota structure and function longitudinally in surgical patients receiving intranasal povidone-iodine.
