The occurrence of these two outbreaks within a few months, despite improvements in HLD compliance, supports the research team’s hypothesis of contamination from inaccessible parts of the elevator channels. Using endoscopes with disposable end caps, adherence to the manufacturer’s reprocessing instructions, routine audits, and manufacturer evaluation are critical in preventing such outbreaks.", "8e258b49-53ff-4566-8088-a5161e4a62cc": "Identification and control of two outbreaks of unrelated New Delhi metallo- β-lactamase-producing carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli traced to the same endoscope defect"}
