Medical Device Sterilization and Disinfection
This cluster of papers focuses on the risk of infections related to endoscopic procedures, particularly concerning the transmission of multidrug-resistant bacteria, biofilm accumulation, and the effectiveness of disinfection and sterilization methods for endoscopes. It also discusses outbreaks, surveillance testing, and guidelines for reprocessing flexible gastrointestinal endoscopes.
Papers listed on taxonomy pages are the top few works per node from the OpenAlex snapshot. That list is not exhaustive and is not an endorsement. The topic map and the journal registry remain separate: there is still no authoritative topic-to-venue or topic-to-organization edge. Search is a lexical lookup, not a claim that a venue publishes a topic.
