I am new to the icky bug stuff. I have pseudomonas (spelling?) How is it different than Cepacia? What happens if you get the MRSA bug from being in the hospital? Do you go back in or more antibiotics??

Hi Erin,

I culture PA too, but from my understanding the biggest difference between cepacia and PA or staph is that it tends to be more resistant to antibiotics and is a more persistant bug. I also found this on the cdc website.

Hope that's at least a little helpful!

Here's an article I wrote about cepacia. I have cepacia. One of the biggest differences between it and PA, aside from the fact that it's multiresistant, is that depending on which species you get of cepacia, it can cause a rapid decline in lung function and overall health. This is called "cepacia syndrome" and is quite devastating.
