Two more hospitals report 'superbugs' on endoscopes

Two more hospitals—one in California and one in Connecticut—reported they'd found drug-resistant "superbugs" on a hard-to-clean type of medical equipment that's under federal scrutiny. The devices, called duodenoscopes, have been modified in a way that allows germs to stick to them, the Food and Drug Administration says. They've been blamed for an outbreak of drug-resistant bacteria that's killed at least two patients and infected five more at UCLA's hospital. The university has warned about 180 people that they may have had the same contaminated scope used on them.
