I have been treated for MAC and bronchiectasis since April; I found out last week i also have pseudomonas. My pulmonologist would not treat it yet, she said, I do not have symptoms (?)despite small cough and she thinks it is colonization of this bacteria. Is airway clearance helping fighting pseudomonas too?

Yes, the airway clearance will help. Whenever I am told (or feel) I have another nasty lurking - bronchitis, flu, anything, I double up on my airway clearance. You probably will not cure the colonized pseudomonas, but at least you won't give it any new places to hide and grow.
