a Per capita pyoverdine (b) pyocyanin and c LasA protease production relative to that of LESB58 for each patient (CF03, CF08 and CF10). a Mean pyoverdine production is reduced in each patient relative to LESB58 (CF03: V = 129. 5, p < 0.001, CF08: t38 = 13.916, p < 0.001, CF10: V = 0, p < 0.001), b Mean pyocyanin production is increased relative to LESB58 in patients CF03 and CF08 (CF03: V = 573, p < 0.05, CF08: t38 = 5.6253, p < 0.001), but reduced in CF10 (V = 0, p < 0.001), c Mean LasA protease is reduced in each patient relative to LESB58 (CF03: V = 0, p < 0.001, CF08: V = 101, p < 0.001, CF10: t38 = 228.18, p < 0.001). When y = 1, production of the relevant secretion does not differ to that of LESB58. Datapoints represent each of 40 isolates for CF03, 39 for CF08 and 39 for CF10
