Biosafety and Biosecurity Flashcards
Who is the US President that ordered biological weapons program on 1943 and was active during Cold war?
Franklin Roosevelt
He described the use of mechanical pipettors to prevent laboratory-acquired infections in 1907 and 1908.
Arnold Wedum
“Protects people from germs”
Focuses on laboratory procedures and practices necessary to prevent exposure to and acquisition of infections
Biosafety
“Protects germs from people.”
Maintenance of security procedures and practices in handling biological materials and sensitive information
Biosecurity
Who created the biohazard symbol?
Charles Baldwin
What risk group includes microorganisms that are unlikely to cause human or animal disease? (No or low individual and community risk)
Risk Group 1
What risk group has moderate individual risk, low community risk?
Risk Group 2
What risk group includes microorganisms that are known to cause serious diseases to humans or animals and may present a significant risk to laboratory workers?
Risk Group 3
What risk group does Covid-19 are grouped?
Risk Group 3
What risk group includes
microorganisms that are known to produce life-threatening diseases to humans or animals?
Risk Group 4
What risk group does the Ebola virus are group?
Risk Group 4
Identify the biosafety level.
Suitable for work involving viable microorganisms that are defined and with well-characterized strains known not to cause disease in humans.
BSL-1
Identify the biosafety level.
Bacillus subtilis
BSL-1
Identify the biosafety level.
Most appropriate among undergraduate, secondary educational training and teaching laboratories that require basic laboratory safety practices.
BSL-1
Identify the biosafety level.
Appropriate when work is done with human blood, body fluids, tissues, or primary human cell lines where there is the uncertain presence of infectious agents.
BSL-2
Identify the biosafety level.
HIV
BSL-2
Identify the biosafety level.
Covid-19
BSL-2
Identify the biosafety level.
Emphasis on primary and secondary barriers in the protection of the personnel, the community, and the environment from infectious aerosol exposure.
BSL-3
Identify the biosafety level.
Work with indigenous or exotic agents with a potential for respiratory transmission, and that may cause serious and potentially lethal infection are being conducted here.
BSL-3
Identify the biosafety level.
Performed in a BSC or other equipment like a gas-tight aerosol generation chamber.
BSL-3
Identify the biosafety level.
Coxiella
BSL-3
Identify the biosafety level.
Dangerous and exotic agents that pose high individual risks of life-threatening diseases that may be transmitted via the aerosol route.
BSL-4
Identify the biosafety level.
No available vaccines or treatment
BSL-4
Identify the biosafety level.
The laboratory worker’s complete isolation from aerosolized infectious materials is accomplished primarily by working in a Class III biosafety cabinet or in a full-body air-supplied positive-pressure personnel suit.
BSL-4
Identify the biosafety level.
Generally a separate building or completely isolated zone with specialized ventilation requirements and waste management systems
BSL-4
