Hi I Have A Heavy Growth Of Achromobacter Xlosoxidans In
Hi I have a heavy growth of achromobacter Xlosoxidans in my ear and my mastoid bone. It seems to be resistant to multiple antibiotics. They put me on Bactrim DS. I've had severe headaches, fatigue, anxious, a little breathless at times. My ear was draining profusely before I went to the ER. Been on the Bactrim for six days. I'm wondering if it's contagious and does it go into your bloodstream? Thank you.
