@pacathy The people in this community continue to amaze me with the rare things that crop up! I reviewed the medical literature for pseudomonas putida and bronchiectasis - wow - I only found two reported cases:

I think in your place, I too would watch and wait. It seems if you become symptomatic, there are numerous antibiotic choices.

PS Pseudomonas putida is, like other strains, pretty well endemic - found mostly in water.
Interesting factoid: P. putida is used in labs to as a medium for growing other "bugs"

Thank you, Sue. Im glad you agree. I also found the uses of putida interesting, especially bioremediation and biocontrol. Maybe it’ll clean up those trees in bud my lungs. 😀

Hey Sue-
Thank you your volunteerism. My son is a physics Ian so I have him review my labwork even though he refuses to treat me, not just because I’m his mother (I’m a bad patient.😂)
My 1st sputum car back with MAC. My 2nd came back with no MAC but an assortment is other goodies. He felt that a lot of this was random stuff that was pretty normal. My 3rd was one mo th ago and thus far has grown nothing. My point is, can’t you have some random bacterium in your sputum due to eating or mild gerd, and not necessarily MAC? Not every result means you have problems is my point.
