wow...this is some unnerving news. I've cultured steno on and off for quite a few years now. I think it was what made me have my first hospitalization about 5 years ago. Funny thing is though, whenever I have it, I'm put on DS Bractrim. It usually makes me feel better (whether it's getting rid of it, I'm not sure...now that they say it's super resistant). Hmm...hope all of you on here who have it stay well.

One I can answer...
Bactrim (Co-trimoxazole) is the most common therapy for Steno infection. Sometimes it is contra-indicated because it can supress the bone marrow. Bactrim resistance in Steno is very rare at the moment, but has been seen in many countries, including the US. Strains have never been seen to mutate to Bactrim resistance, so if you have your own strain that is just being damped down with drugs as necessary, resistance should not be a problem. A problem might come if a person happens to pick up a resistant strain from the environment. Again, these are very rare, and minocycline should work on them.

bimba, I wanted to thank you for your posts! I know that when I cultured the steno, my drs didn't seem very concerned, just like it was a switch-up of medication. Thank you for clearing up why!

Actually, it's not new.

I think the most interested part is that studies have shown that colonization with sten malt does NOT reduce survival in patients with CF.
Don't worry so much. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
