Abstract | Background: Transmission of infections via contaminated endoscopes is a common problem. Manual cleaning, using at least a detergent, is an important step in endoscope processing and should be performed as soon as possible to avoid drying of organic residues that might interfere with high-level disinfection and promote biofilm formation. Aim: To assess the efficacy of two detergent-disinfectants, enzymatic and non-enzymatic, and of an enzymatic detergent used during the manual cleaning against a Klebsiella pneumoniae biofilm. Methods: A 24 h biofilm statically formed in a Tygon tube was exposed to detergent-disinfectants at 20 °C and 35 °C for 10 mn, and to enzymatic detergent at 45 °C for 60 mn. The logarithmic reduction in bacteria in the Tygon tube and the number of bacteria in the product supernatant were calculated. Findings: Biofilm formation was reproducible between assays. After exposure to detergent-disinfectants, the logarithmic reduction was between 6.32 and 6.71 log Conclusion: These results show the importance of the choice of products used during the manual cleaning phase. They also show the potential benefit of combining detergent and disinfectant activity to decrease the bacterial load during the manual cleaning step of endoscope processing. |
