I had this (pseudomonas UTI) a couple of years ago. The first and only UTI I have been treated for in my 17 yrs. I did a dose of IV Levaquin at the ER, and then a script of the oral Levaquin. That knocked my infection out.
I found an interesting link, tells about all pseudomonas. I didn't realize that most of the human body is susceptible.

Lori, I know you had quite a problem with a PROTEUS infection. I had a very serious PSEUDAMONAS infection that put in into the hospital for 1 week on IV drugs about a year and a half back, that my Urologist said he knew about but wanted to let it go, to see if I could get better on my own.....Well it really messed me up and destroyed much of my white blood cells back then. NOW this Urologist say's I must go to my family Doc for all bladder infections. Well my family Doctor just told me I got Pseudamoas AGAIN Today ! He wants to try and treat it with ORAL anti-biotics -- Levequin. Do any of you know if the more serious types of bacteria can be treated like that or do they require IV Drugs ?? I'm Lost and confused on this...as my Doctors seem unsure themselves. I just gave blood today to see if my blood cells are messed up again............ Thanks, Dan
