ABSTRACT
We report 2 outbreaks of genetically unrelated carbapenem-resistant New Delhi metallo-ß-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli caused by contaminated duodenoscopes. Using endoscopes with disposable end caps, adherence to the manufacturer's reprocessing instructions, routine audits, and manufacturer evaluation are critical in preventing such outbreaks.
