Did they retest afterwards to see if the pseudo is there? Usually Cipro alone is not enough. Follow up with Tobramycin often recommended to get the rest. Or even IV and hit it hard.

@mark1952 Hi Mark, 99%-wow! Congratulations! I wish. I'm now at 96% and thought that was amazing. I was at NJH 2 months ago and my culture showed Rare Pseudomonas and Dr Haas put me on 750 mg twice daily for 10 days. She told me they had seen success with high dose when caught early. I was getting tested monthly for my MABS, so I know I just recently got it. When I got the script filled, the pharmacist asked me if I was seeing a specialist since he has rarely seen such a high dose of Ciprofloxacin. I hope it took care of it. I need to send in another sputum sample in next few weeks for a recheck. A side note: In clearing the lungs, cilia work in synchrony, floating and pushing up contaminants-up and out the airway. I think it was Dr McShane that said, "think or envision escalators". With Bronchiectasis, we are missing parts of the escalator, and with the expanded airway-it's a dumping ground for everything.
