@tropauer The infection Stenotrophomonas maltophilia does not come up too often in this group, but if you copy and paste the full in the search box at the top of this page, you will be able to see all the posts relating to it. It is a relative of pseudomonas (in fact at one time it was considered a type of that infection) and sometimes responds to the same drugs.
What have your doctors tried so far?

@sueinmn I have not had that one . Im 68 grew psuedanoma aerigenosa last year. Had severe attack Jan/ Feb 2026 went on cefipime. Feeling good as if now but my ID doctor wants me to go on tobi inhaled forc30 days on and 30 days off. I seem to get side effects to every medication. And bad side effects. Im not so sure its the right time for me to start it. Im on the fence. Since its related to your steno was there any talk about trying inhaled tobi ?
