Pseudomonas: Best wishes on the pseudomonas treatment. My doctor prescribed Cyprofloxacin for 21 days. It is very difficult for me to get an acceptable sputum specimen because I can no longer cough. So after several months of trying and sputum rejected at lab, the doctor order 3 weeks of Cyprofloxacin for me again. I am waiting on the final results of a sputum test now to determine if I still have pseudomonas or other bacteria. The preliminary showed large amount of gram positive cocci.

I wouldn't place too much stock in what worked for someone else. My husband & I had pseudomonas infections at the same time in 2018. His responded to one course of one antibiotic. Mine took 3 antibiotics, over 2 months, to clear. Presumably we both got it the same place so ????
Your ID doc will do a sensitivity test to see what will work on yours.
