A member asked:
My throat culture _ positive for pseudomonas aeruginosa and staphylococcus aureus. should i be worried? i have autoimmune thyroiditis.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unusual culture: Staph aureus is one of the most common bacteria isolated from throat cultures and treatable. However, pseudomonas is not a typical bacteria to cause tonsil or throat infection and is cultured in only a small portion of people. The thyroiditis diagnosis should not play a role in the positive throat culture.
