Hi ckscoville, I was curious about your particular organism, so I looked it up. I thought this tidbit about antibiotics might be useful for you. It is usually resistant to a variety of antibiotics including penicillins, ; cephalosporins, quinolones, and aminoglycosides. Ampicillin and carbenicillin, which are penicillins, are an exception. It is variably susceptible to tetracyclines, chloramphenicol, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and colistin.[7]

Thanks. I have the feeling that my doctors at Mayo are still trying to figure out the best approach. The rotation of different antibiotics is what they just started in July, but I've been dealing with this bacteria for at least a year and a half.
