Has anyone who’s received treatment for pseudomonas know whether it was/is mucoid or nonmucoid?
I’ve started treatment for PA mucoid variant. My pulmo chose Cipro monotherapy. I was inspired by those who commented about this as common and about treatments that worked to “eradicate” or at least minimize it as an issue for them. The literature about mucoid PA is discouraging so I wanted more info on this if anyone can help. I also wouldn’t mind info on monotherapy Cipro vs addition of inhaled colistin or tobramycin. Feel pretty lousy but airway clearance helps. Thanks so much, Chri

Hello! I was treated for Pseudomonas many years ago w Tobramycin Inhalation. I don’t know if mine was mucoid or not.
I am glad airway clearance is helping. Below is some information and references on Pseudomonas: https://www.bronchiectasisandntminitiative.org/Learn-More/I-am-a-Patient-or-Caregiver/Pseudomonas-Aeruginosa-Lung-Infections
