Do you know which bacteria you culture?

I've never taken imipenem, but I would say give it a week and see what happen with your PFTs. Imipenem does not treat MRSA, so if you culture that it would be the wrong antibiotic.

OK, give it some time, but if you continue to see no improvement, or get worse call your physician right away.
