Nearly everyone with cf will at some point or another culture pseudomonas. Its everywhere and almost impossible to avoid. Heck, it's in the tap water. It is linked to lowered lung function but your strain is non mucoid making it easier to treat than a mucoid strain. Its certainly not the end of the world. Cipro, Tobi, and a whole list of other drugs are effective against it.
It is very unlikely that you could spread a pseudomonas infection to a "normal" person. Its considered nonhazardous, which is why they don't worry about it being in the water. Taking a shower is likely to expose you to it.</end quote></div>
Pseudomonas is also present in the dirt, as it is in man-made snow.

Don't sweat it Jared, I've cultured it ever since I can remember and it's really unavoidable to us cf'ers. Best thing you can do is not to slack on any of your breathing treatments and stay very active.

Nonmucoid pseudomonas is supposedly easier to erradicate than mucoid pseudomonas. My son cultured it when he was 3 months old and was put on Tobi nebs. He didn't have symptoms either. I'm assuming your doctor is being proactive and has started you on meds. Just try to be aggressive in your cpt/vest treatments.

Hey, I got it when I was 11 too, and I know they tell you that you'll never be rid of it, but with IVs I haven't grown it for a year. My mates were fine about it all, and the teachers are always really helpful... Don't worry! x
