Suggest Precautions While Lungs Being Insensitive To Antibiotics

hi i have just been advised by my lung specialist that the pseudomonas in my lungs is no longer sensitive to any currently used IV antibiotics! I have sarcoidosis/bronchiectasis/asthma. Are there any trials for new drugs in this field? Is there anything I can/should do to protect myself from infections?

Thanks for your question on HCM. In my opinion you can try nebulization of xylistin drug. Xylistin is newer antibiotic drug with excellent antipseudomas activity. So you can try this.
About preventing future infections I advice you to enroll in pulmonary rehabilitation center where chest physiotherapy is available.
Start deep breathing exercise.
Also vaccinate yourself with adult vaccines like pneumococcal and influenza, for prevention of future infection.
