Our findings confirm inadequate neutrophil defense towards pathogens in CF. A significant difference in migration, phagocytosis, oxidative burst, percentage of IL-8 producing neutrophils, IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-17 secretions were noted among CF patients according to their colonization status, which might induce a further destructive effect on airways, resulting in an unfavorable prognosis for children with CF who also have colonization.
