Pseudomonas Infection

If you look again "0" indicates the organism is sensitive to the drug and + is only an intermediate resistance.
This is no superbug.
It is curable by multiple drugs, the biggest question then becomes, "which drug will cause the least negative side effects for the snake".
Luckily the OP has found a vet better suited to helping with reptilian care.

You need to read it again. "+" = sensitive, "(+)" = intermediate, "0" = resistant... nothing but zeros on the sensitivity results. Also, the snake(s) were treated with two months of Baytril BEFORE the culture was done.


I'd still love to know what the specialist had to say about this case.

Hello,

The vet said He doesn't know what antibiotic can work after that result , it's possible to search deeper but it will cost more and as I said 400euro was already a lot of . I thinked about to kill the pythons to protect my collection but as i didn't have contamination (when the snakes was at my home before the vet) ,I keep them and i put the snakes in a separated room (the cave).

Do you think the snake can heal by himself in the future with a kind of bacteria like this?

You are correct. Admittedly my french bites and I don't trust translation software 100%.

Is this chart for the psuedomonas or the unknown bacteria?

If antibiotics are no longer efective, surgery may be the only alternative. Surgically removing the infected tissue may cure the snake, but this may not even be an option here, and only your vet would know if surgery might help. I suppose it's possible that the snake's immune system could eventually clear the infection, but the infection is still present after 6 months despite the care given by you and the vet. I wish you good luck. Please let us know how this ends, good or bad.
