Salmonella is a serious primary pathogen, and Pseudomonas is ubiquitous in many water sources, and although both these pathogens have been associated most frequently with endoscopic transmission, they are both sensitive to multiple agents, including glutaraldehyde, and other HLDs. Transmission of bacterial pathogens from flexible endoscopes has been rare since the adoption of the current 2011 multisociety reprocessing guideline, 45, 160 with the exception of duodenoscope-related infections (discussed later).
