If you have not had another sputum culture since a year ago it's a good idea to follow up with another one. Even though you may not have any bothersome symptoms it could "head off something at the pass" before it does cause problems.
Have you also been diagnosed with MAC or another infection? Are you seeing a Pulmonologist that specializes in treating MAC infections?

No idea if my Pulmonologist can treat MAC or specializes in it. I am not in a big city so finding those kind of specialist specialists hard to do. I see him in September which is a one year plus anniversary date so I'll see whether or not he does a culture.
