Guest guest Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Hi Joy, I'm aware of that, however my culture was not decisive and therefore what I am harboring is unknown for almost 2 months. I have 2 more cultures incubating and hope they will illustrate what type infection I have. BTW, I am back on the OPC3 and all my arthritis pain is gone except for my left thumb joint and that pain comes and goes. I'm so happy to have found a natural way to alleviate this painful condition.EILEEN - FL Subject: Re: BactrimTo: bronchiectasis Date: Monday, July 18, 2011, 10:38 PM hi Eileen,the choice of abx should reflect the type of infx you have, and what it's sensitive to. Cipro is generally only used for Psa (Pseudomonas), but Bactrim (or any sulfonamide) are general broad- spectrum abx, and if lab pathology shows the 'bugs' you have are sensitive to it, then it's considered an effective abx for many types of infx.Some abx work on 'gram negative' and some on 'gram positive' bacteria. If you're interested in the chemistry Wikipedia would probably give you a good layman's basic outline of what these are ....cheers,joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
