| Which of the following secondary barriers are recommended for microbiology laboratories that work with Biosafety level 3 agents (e.g., Mycobacterium tuberculosis)? | View Page |
| Biosafety Level 3 Biosafety level 3 practices, safety equipment, and facility design and construction are applicable to microbiology laboratories that work with indigenous or exotic agents with a potential for respiratory transmission, and which may cause serious and potentially lethal infection. Mycobacterium tuberculosis is assigned to this biosafety level. At biosafety level 3, laboratory manipulations should be performed in a Class l or Class ll biosafety cabinet (BSC) or other physical containment device. Secondary barriers include controlled access to the laboratory and ventilation requirements that minimize the release of infectious aerosols from the laboratory. Secondary barriers should include self-closing double-door access and negative airflow into the laboratory. Exhausted air must not be recirculated. | View Page |
