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
