Has anyone had Bordetella Bronchiseptica

Here is a link to an article that may provide some helpful info. And some questions to ask yourself and your physician.

Are you having symptoms? Have you had CT changes?Was this a one time sputum result? Was your sample tested for sensitivity to antibiotics?

Did the doc do a sensitivity on the culture? That is commonly done and if the bacteria was sensitive, it's probably the reason it was ordered. That's what I'd check first.
I've no first hand experience with the bug.

Yes, I had Bortadella infection in lungs about 8 years ago. I also have bronchiectasis and old lung damage. The Bortadella was cured by Cephalosporin right away.
Google Bortadella, respiratory infretion, cephalosporin options.

@heathert Oh my, that is the bacteria that causes kennel cough in dogs. Do you have or work around puppies? It is hardly ever found in humans.

Is it causing you any symptoms? If not, did they do a repeat culture to confirm it wasn't just an artifact?
And, as @pacathy said, with a rare bug like this, it is best they do a sensitivity test to see which antibiotic will kill it.

Treatment for B. Bronchosepticia may be confussed with B pertussis which causes whooping cough.. Azitromycin is effective for pertussis but not for B. Bronchosepticia. B. Pertusssis will not grow on routine culture media.
I had pertussis once and it was awlful. TDap vaccine can prevent pertussis.

@cwal Thank you so much for your reply, that is great to know that that med worked!!! I have asked my Specialist if she suseptability tested and if azith was ok and if whe could refer me to an Infectious disease specialist, and she replyed saying not to take the azith and she will refer me to an Infectious disease Dr, I feel like our respiratory specialists do now have the time to investigate anything unusual and maby she just looked up "Bordetella " which probably gave her azithromycin as that is what is used for pertussis (way more common)not what I have, so I am fighting for myself here. Thanks again Heather

@pacathy thanks so much for your reply, I have asked her and she has not replyed but changed her mind and said not to take the azith until I have been to an Infectious Disease Dr (which I requested)., so I am guessing that she did not, the bordetella result came up early on my tests so she thought my MAC had returned so waited until 8 weeks of the sputum test and nothing else bugs wise showed up.(tests were done as I have had nodules and a new cavity show up in lower lungs) Thanks Heather

@suenm thank you so much for your reply, I have 2 dogs at home but thats all.I have asked for another sputum test also, incase the last one was contaminated in the lab and my Specialist has not replyed, so I am going to my GP on Tues to see if she can order one for me. I have a bit more mucus but not really any of the other symptoms related to this bug, which I find strange. I feel like our specialists are just so busy that they have no time to go into these things, but it is all sounding a bit odd to me, so I am investigating this myself. My spectalist said my lungs were pristine so I feel it may be coming from my noes/sinus as i have been having sinus problems so am upping my nose rinses.Thanks Heather

@nicholslg Thanks So much for your reply, that is exactly what I was thinking too, thanks for your confirmation, nice to know that I am on the right track. Think I will change Specialists, we only have 2 here so hope the next can put more time in to such an unusual bug.
Thanks Heather

But the good thing is that no MAC intracellulare showed up on my cultures after 11 years of positive cultures!!! I have been concentrating on nebbing (pari eflow, no tubing)and huff coughing and good cleaning of nebs etc and my MAC numbers have been decreasing in the few years and now mo more MAC (and I was not on any medications for MAC for the last 3 years, but for 7 years prior) for me the medications kind of kept it under control but did not get rid of it, but nebbing and clearing my small airways did! I would recommend this to everyone. Heather
