Do I Need to Isolate with Pseudomonas

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.

The only "retest" that I am aware of is a CT scan that I have scheduled for November 10, 2025. Then I meet with the pulmonologist on November 20, 2025. I don't think the scan can show bacterial strains. I think I need another laboratory test for that. I will ask the doctor that on the 20th. I don't want another bronchoscopy right now, so I hope my sputum will be sufficient for a lab test, which I sort of doubt it will due to the very small amount of clear/white fluid that comes up. I assume the CT scan just shows signs of infection like nodules, inflammation, and abscesses which, in my case, could perhaps be caused by either the Pseudomonas A or the Mycobacterium Intracellular. As you have probably already concluded by now, I really don't know what I am talking about. 🙃😄 Thanks for the tip on the Tobramycin!
