文摘

The authors of this article come from different sectors of the health care industry. One (C.S.B.) is a clinical gastroenterology nurse; the other two (A.S.W. and P.H.V.) work in the microbiology laboratory. We have collaborated on this article so that each of our constituencies would be able to view the issue from an alternative perspective, in addition to appreciating the salient points important to each of them. The background information is based upon a 2016 U.S. Senate report. This is a story that has grabbed worldwide attention and still has no end in sight. It is the story of carbapenemase-resistant Enterobacteriaceae and duodenoscopes.
