LAB QUIZ 1 Flashcards
In clinical setting, the fundamental objective is the _________ of potentially hazardous biological agents and toxins
containment
biological substances that pose a threat to the health of living organisms, especially humans.
biohazards
CDC MEANING
centers for disease control and prevention
biosafety level
1: minimum risk
2: tayo
3:
4: being extreme risk
TRUE
the pathogen capable of producing infection or infectious disease
agent
the host from which the pathogen originated
source
the process of how the pathogen infects the host
transmission
the organism where the pathogen infects
host
4 parts of infection chain
agent, source, transmission, host
bacteria and viruses that pose a MORE MINIMAL threat to human health
biohazard level 1
bacteria and viruses that CAUSE ONLY MILD disease in humans
biohazard level 2
bacteria and viruses that can cause severe to fatal disease in humans, but for which vaccines or other treatments EXIST
biohazard level 3
viruses that cause severe to fatal disease in humans, and for which NO VACCINES OR OTHER TREATMENTS ARE AVAILABLE
biohazard level 4
not known to consistently cause disease in healthy adult humans, and of MINIMAL potential hazard to laboratory personnel and the environment (ex: canine hepatitis, nom infectious bacteria)
BSL -1
moderate potential hazard to personnel and the environment. It includes bacteria and viruses that cause only mild disease to humans, or are difficult to contract via aerosol in lab settings (ex: hepatitis a,b,c, salmonella, influenza A)
BSL. -2
microbes there can be either indigenous or exotic, and they can also cause serious or potentially lethal disease through respiratory transmission (ex: HIV, H1n1, SARS, tubercolosis, rabies)
BSL -3
dangerous and exotic, posing a high risk of aerosol transmitted infections, infections caused by these microbes are frequently fatal and without treatment or vaccines (ex: ebola & smallpox)
BSL-4
