@tavrgrad2020 Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a notoriously difficult infection to eradicate, and resistant to many antibiotics. Where were you infected, and how long has it been since the last bout?

Thanks for responding. The first was (2018) and associated with apparent diverticulitis and diagnosed after ER and admission after blood culture - bacteria had entered the bloodstream requiring 30 + days of IVs of meropenem in hospital and at home. The second was after Mohs surgery for squamous cell on left hand. Culture of the wound determined a second infection .Of interest, after 2020 TAVR at Mayo I take an antibiotic to prevent infections.
