Phylogenetic Analysis of Multi-Drug Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Strains From Duodenoscope Biofilm: Microbiological Surveillance and Reprocessing Improvements for Infection Prevention

Phylogenetic Analysis of Multi-Drug Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Strains From Duodenoscope Biofilm: Microbiological Surveillance and Reprocessing Improvements for Infection Prevention

Duodenoscopes have been described as potential vehicles of patient-to-patient transmission of multi-drug resistant organisms. Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae duodenoscope related infections have been described by the Center for Disease Control and the US Food and Drug Administration conseque...
