inhaled antibiotics

I'm just curious what inhaled antibiotics everyone has done or is doing. The only one I've ever been told about is TOBI, and I'm pretty sure I'm resistant to it because it doesn't help much anymore. If there are other antibiotics available for inhalation I'd really like to know so that I can mention them to my CF clinic and ask why I haven't been informed of them.

I took Tobramicyn, Colistin (colomicyn), Gentamicyn - these 3 very often -, Pieram (amikacyn) and even Ciprofloxacyn. And some forms of Penicilyn when I was a kid.

Most antibiotics also come in a liquid form (or powder mixed with water or saline) for IVs or IMs and if the doctor thinks it will work for you at that time it can give you that drug for nebulization. I know and heard about some weird cases here... <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">

And some antibiotics come as a spray (commonly used for throat or mouth infections) and now as a dry powder (similar with Advair/Seretide or Singulair).
