pseudomonas aeruginosa colonizes and infects immunocompromized pts .
it cant infect healthy people coz has weak invasive ability.
in immunocompromized pts , it releases various toxins like exotoxin A which inhibits protein synthesis.
In CF pts it colonizes lungs and causes chronic pneumonia which progressively destroys lungs
