@fdixon63 Sorry to hear you are having trouble kicking the pseudomonas. It can be tough - took my husband & me each 3 courses of different antibiotics to get rid of it, but so far no reoccurence in 2 years. I'm going to bring @windwalker into the discussion as I know she has dealt with this.
Your doctor's recommendation aligns with what some of us are seeing recently - less jumping in immediately with antibiotics when infections show up but are asymptomatic. For example, I still test positive for MAC, but have been off antibiotics for 7 months, managing only with 7% saline.

sueinmn ……. would you be so kind as to share which antibiotics you used in treating pseudomonas in your household? I'm hoping for something besides toby in that it doesn't seem to be working for me

Sue, I have bronchiectasis and burkholderia cepecia bug is there since April, last year. Do you think my husband is going to get bronchiectasis too? I learned that both your daughter and husband have bronchiectasis.
