Abstract
Infectious complications of GI endoscopy resulting from endogenous bacterial flora were discussed in Part I of this review. Part II deals with patient-to-patient transmission of pathogens during endoscopy (exogenous infection). Not every case of pathogen transmission necessarily results in clinical infection; however, because the ramifications for endoscope reprocessing are similar, cases of pathogen transmission and transmission of infection are discussed collectively.
