Hi @cared, I know you'd rather not have this diagnosis, but it is good that your infectious diseases doctor confirmed the diagnosis of Gordonia so that you can get effective treatment. I'm tagging other members like @jammer @extracare808 @sueinmn @tlynng79, who have experience with Gordonia bacteremia.
