‘Secondary biofilms’ could cause failure of peracetic acid high-level disinfection of endoscopes

The reduced susceptibility of biofilms to disinfectants presents a challenge to the successful reprocessing of medical equipment. This study examined the effect of residual biomass remaining after previous disinfection with peracetic acid (PAA) on the tolerance of subsequent mature Pseudomonas aerug...
