Recurring Pseudomonas Infection In Lungs. Have COPD And Emphysema. Prevention?

i have a psodamonus infection in my lungs why does it keep reoccuring? I had it a year ago September. We do have a swiming pool only in use in the summer. I had an abcess in my lung which has left me vulnarable it was 10 years ago. I have copd and empysemia. I am 61 and very ctive. What can I do to keep this from reocurring.

HI
you are a copd patient.
you take anti pseudomonal treatment in the past.
copd is a chronic disease with acute attacks.
you must know every time it is not pseudomonal infection.
so you consult chest physician and take correct guidance about copd treatment other wise so many problems will occur
THANKS
