No, she said that both bacteria should be susceptible to the Bactrim. If not, then she'll try a different course of antibiotics with the PICC line.

Hi. If just makes your heart sink when you get these lab results. I never imagined there were so many bacteria around. I was diagnosed 2 1\2 years ago and had repeated Pseudomonous and others. I was not coughing up anything recently till A week or so ago--doing once daily nebbing with 7% sod. chloride so sent in a specimen. It was 3+ Pseudomonous and 1+ achromobacter but not sufficient for susceptibility. Had a visit with with my pulmonary Thursday. Lungs sounded good no antibiotic, increase nebbing to twice a day, exercise to keep stuff coming up. I had a picc line a year ago. Not fun but did in home with good supportive husband. I'm sensitive to antibiotics but had a true allergic reaction to Bactrim. Hope all goes well. We are all having to deal with a lot but this site support is great.

May I know the dose of the Bactrim? 1600mg/per day? Are you feeling better? Bactrim was hard on me, that's why I asked.
