Ladies and Gentlemen:

     You have requested our opinion, as counsel for PathoGenesis Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the registration
statement on Form S-1 (the "Abbreviated Registration Statement"), under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), for the registration of 115,000
shares (including up to 15,000 shares exercisable upon exercise of the
Underwriters' over-allotment option) of common stock, par value $.001 per share,
of the Company (the "Common Stock"). The Abbreviated Registration Statement
relates to the same class of securities registered pursuant to the Company's
Registration Statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-22297) declared effective earlier
today (the "Initial Registration Statement").

     The Abbreviated Registration Statement, together with the Initial
Registration Statement, relates to an offering by the Company of 2,100,000
shares (or upon the exercise of the Underwriters' Over-Allotment Option, up to
2,415,000 shares) of Common Stock.

     We have examined such records and documents and made such examinations of
law as we have deemed relevant in connection with this opinion. It is our
opinion that when there has been compliance with the Act and the applicable
state securities laws, the shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Company,
when issued, delivered, and paid for in the manner described in the form
<PAGE>

PathoGenesis Corporation

Page 2



of Underwriting Agreement filed as Exhibit 1 to the Initial Registration
Statement will be legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.


     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Abbreviated Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the
caption "Legal Matters" in the Initial Registration Statement. In so doing, we
do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required
under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder.

                                  Very truly yours,

                                  /s/ Squadron, Ellenoff, Plesent & Sheinfeld,
                                  LLP

                        CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors
PathoGenesis Corporation:

      We consent to the use of our report dated January 17, 1997, except as to
note 8 to the financial statements, which is as of January 30, 1997, included
