Anyone able to get rid of stenotrophomonas maltophilia?

For several years I have had it show up in my sputum samples as “rare.” Some people have successfully eliminated it with Bactrim, but I am allergic to that. My doctor at NJH said that since it is not getting worse and I have no symptoms, he doesn’t feel it needs to be treated at this time.

I had it a couple years ago. I was very ill.
My new doctor at Cleveland Clinic had me on wrong antibiotic for 28 days.
I started Doxycycline first. It did nothing. Then Bactrim…..same. She then said i’d have to start the Big 3. I ask if I could try Leviquin. In 3 days i was better.
