Would it happen to be the xylosoxidans (Alcagene)? If so, I have grown it...still do. I think they go by Achromobacter xylosoxidans though (if I am thinking about the same organism). They are gram negatives, just like PA and can be fairly resistant. I have been cutluring that bug for over a year now, never fail. They aren't the same bug, but they are in similar families from what I understand.
Are your docs treating it? I know that between my PA and that bug, I am on something pretty much all of the time. I find that PA exacerbations tend to get me sicker than the A. xylosoxidans, but they both can wreak hell on my system though.
If you have any more questions, fire away, I will try to help you if I can. You should ask you doc about it too, especially if it is a new bug that you are growing out.
Hugs, Jenn

Achromobacter xylosoxidans formerly Alcaligenes xylosoxidans is probably what you are referring to? They like to rename and re-class things frequently just to drive us all crazy <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif" border="0">.
I have cultured it for more than 5 years, not sure how long. For some it can be a very very problematic bug and for others not so much. Some docs treat aggressively for it and others say we treat mainly PA unless something isnt working.
It's supposedly a 'rarer' bug to culture but I have been seeing more and more on it. Its also a harder bug for them to ID in a culture and commonly mis'IDd so that also plays into the picture.
So, to answer your question, no having PA and Achromabacter is not the same though sometimes your physician will treat the same. AX tends to be very very resistant.
