@irenea8 The bacteria cultured out showing only 2 drugs would be effective. So I had a PICC and Meropenem. My infectious disease doctor selected that.
I won’t use Toby because it’s ototoxic. I have so little left, so I don’t want to lose my hearing.

Apparently there are studies going on that show bacteria resistance outside of the body and inside the body can make a difference. In other words even if the sputum from the lab shows resistance, they have found the antibiotic may still work for the person. So that gives some hope in your case. But Meropenem is a good choice. Hope it works to knock things back for you. Toby can also be toxic to your kidneys even though it is inhaled.
