Many years with bronchiectasis

Severe Sarcoidosis as a teenager. 15 years treatment in those days (1956) with corticosteroids. Bronchiectasis diagnosed since the age of 32 and then the occasional antibiotic treatment. During the last 10 years frequent flare ups with purulent sputum and always growth of Staphylococcus Aureus. Sofar regular but intermittent treatment with Fluoxacillin as the bug sofar is sensitive to that antibiotic. I cannot rid myself entirely from the infection and have to take an antibiotic course every other month. The duration of treatment is a month. I am now 80 years old and resonably fit but the constant recurrent infections do tire me.

Has anybody experience with recurrent Staphylococcus infections? I am a Swedish resident.
