Let’s talk about bugs (sputum cultures)
For as long as I can remember, I’ve cultured pseudomonas and various types of staph – sometimes methicillin-resistant (MRSA) and sometimes just regular ol’ staphylococcus aureus. In my family, we’ve always referred to them as “bugs.” Since being on Trikafta, I’ve had much less bacterial growth but anytime I have a sputum culture, my old friends still show up.
I’m curious to know if you regularly culture a specific kind of bacteria. Have you been able to eradicate certain “bugs” from your lungs? What do your sputum cultures generally look like? (Or your loved ones?)
