Abstract
Background Sinusitis affects significant percentage of population causing considerable long term morbidity. P.aeruginosa is responsible for about 13% of the sinusitis cases. Pseudomonas produces hemolysin, rhamnolipid, a membrane glycolipid, secretory pigments like pyocyanin and 1hydrophenazine which can reduce ciliary beating and mucociliary clearance. Alginate functions as an adhesion, thereby preventing phagocytosis.
