Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most common pathogens isolated from respiratory tract specimen in patients with bronchiectasis. It is considered highly responsible for pathogenicity, progression and clinical outcomes of bronchiectasis. To summarize existing evidence on how different factors of Pseudomonas aeruginosa affect the pathogenicity, progression and clinical outcomes of bronchiectasis, so as to provide possible insights for clinical practice and related research in the future. PubMed was searched for studies pertaining to bronchiectasis and P. aeruginosa published to date, with no specific inclusion or exclusion criteria. Reference lists of retrieved reviews were searched for additional articles. This review focused on non–cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis and also provided some data on cystic fibrosis when studies in bronchiectasis were limited. We discussed various factors in relation to P. aeruginosa: virulence factors, drug resistance, regulatory systems, genomic diversity and transmission of P. aeruginosa, as well as treatment for P. aeruginosa. Their impacts on bronchiectasis and its management were discussed. The impact of P. aeruginosa on bronchiectasis is definite, although conclusions in some aspects are still vague. Faced with the worrying drug-resistance status and treatment bottleneck, individualized management and novel therapies beyond the classic pathway are most likely to be a future trend. To confirm the independent or integrated impact of various factors of P. aeruginosa on bronchiectasis and to figure out all the problems mentioned, larger randomized control trials are truly needed in the future.
