It also deals with basic strategies and procedures for the prevention, containment, and management of laboratory acquired infections in the microbiology laboratory. Exposure to infectious agents can occur by several routes. The actual occurrence of an infection depends on the concentration and virulence of the infecting agent, the route of exposure, and the susceptibility of the host. The implementation of safe work practices is essential for the prevention of laboratory associated infections. Management of accidental biohazardous spills depends on the infectious agent, the quantity of the material spilled, and whether an aerosol has been generated. In addition to implementing standard microbiological procedures and practices, management of the biohazards associated with working with pathogens includes physical barriers and administrative controls. The risk assessment should focus on the appropriate safety practices for handling infectious materials and cultures rather than on specific infectious agents. BSLs are guidelines that describe appropriate containment equipment, facilities, and procedures for use by laboratory workers. The biological safety cabinet (BSC) is the most important primary containment equipment in the clinical microbiology laboratory. Microorganisms should be stored in an area with restricted access and clearly identified. The section discusses special pathogens and employee safety to help reduce the chances of clinical microbiology laboratory employees’ being exposed to microorganisms associated with bioterrorism and with laboratory- acquired infections, including Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
