@letsjustbreathe Even long-term pseudomonas can respond to antibiotic therapy, but at low load like you show, docs may choose not to treat.
But what loads do your MAC cultures show? Not everyone needs treatment.
And what are you doing, aside from antibiotics, to fight off the mycobacteria?

@sueinmn
MAC doesn't show up in my sputum cultures, so I don't know the load. The way we found it was doing a bronchoscopy.

No antibiotics yet. I'm nebulizing 7% saline and doing AC. That's all I'm doing to fight off the mycobacteria right now.
