Oh Carly, I am sorry to hear this. I know nothing about it though, so I am of no help there. Just know that you can message me anytime you want to talk.

well keep your hopes high! i was diagnosed 3 years ago with B-cepacia as well, but after further culturing they found out it was indeed in the family of B-Cepacia but was in fact called "pandorea" (not sure if spelling is correct) which they do not know much about...but believe it is not severe! So make sure they have further cultured it because my sputum grows B-cepacia and my doc sends it to some other state who actually determined it as Pandorea instead. I have done well the last 3 years..so i hope that can give you some re-assurance!

hey there no i dont.i asked him what strain i am through a text message he said he didnt know.i will see him tomorow though.what do i ask him tho what type of genomovar i am?he jus found out today i cultured it so will he need to do more tests to see what strain or genomovar i am...i dont mean to freak out but i jus am feeln down today and my doc was saddend to tel me thats all</end quote></div>

Yes carly, ask what Genomovar you have. Within each Genomovar are then numerous different strains, each strain with differenct antibiotic sensitivites. Once they have completed the full sensitivity study, you can find out how many antibiotics will still work to kill or at least knock back this bacteria.

Cheer up, seriously, it's not that bad.
