@johnwpatrick Did either doctor order a sensitivity test on the culture? Different strains of pseudomonas are sensitive or resistant to different antibiotics. Also, your pulmonologist may have more experience with treating pseudo in lung patients. It can be notoriously hard to beat.

@sueinmn yes, susceptibilities were done on the culture and both pulmonologist and ID MD prescribed Cipro. They are going for eradication, reportedly. Thanks!
