Sputa from 114 patients with chronic lung disease were analysed. Thirteen patients (11.4%) exhibited colonisation with Pseudomonas aeruginosa; 11 of these thirteen strains (84.6%) produced proteases, nine produced haemolysin (76.90%). Multiantibiotic resistance appears to correlate with production of extracellular virulence factors.
