Has anyone grown this in their sputum?

Okay, just got my final report from my doc today...of course we have our friend B. cepacia but now we have a new one...Flavobacterium indologenes. My doc says it isn't too common (apparently it is a gram negative bug that likes to live in many places, food, water, soil, humidifiers etc...) I was doing research on it, apparently people do get it, I am just wondering how hard it is to get rid of. Apparently, I like to grow other stuff too, Staph (not MRSA), steno (every time), PA (everytime) and have grown citrobacter at one point (haven't in awhile though). Just wondering if any of you have grown it and what your doc did for it if anything? Mine is just watching it....I did start my TOBI nebs the other day, so my PA colonies will go down at least, doesn't touch the cepacia or steno. Thanks all...just a curious CF'er.

PS...I am beginning to think that my lungs are slowly turning into one big petri dish!!!!! Oh, and my colonies are at 2+ and 3+
