An increase in the NET component neutrophil elastase resulted in a decrease in phagocytosis of P. aeruginosa by sputum neutrophils (figure), r-0.74, p=0.01. Phagocytosis failure could be replicated by treating peripheral neutrophils with sputum. Conclusion: Sputum from patients with BE and CF contains mediators that promote NET formation and inhibit phagocytosis of bacteria. ">
