Synopsis: 
Endowashers can be a potential source of infection in post-endoscopic procedures. Routine checking of the water samples for quality control of endowashers should be done to monitor the spread of nosocomial infections by potentially resistant bacteria.

ABSTRACT

Aim: Endowashers are the main source of infection in endoscopy. Therefore, we undertook this study to evaluate endowashers as a source of infection after endoscopic procedures.
