Module 4 Flashcards
It referes to the safety of both humans and environment from unintentional release of pathogenic microoganisms and biohazards. It aims to protect the public health and the environment from an accidental exposure to biological agents.
Biosafety
It is the protection of human and environment from intentional release of biohazards by an individual. It is concerened with the procedure on how to prevent the misuse of pathogenic microoganism, their toxins, and other biological materials, such as releasing them intentionally to the environment.
Biosecurity
AKA “Germ Warfare”, it is the use of biological toxins or infectious agents, such as bacteria, viruses, insects, and fungi with the intent to kill or incapacitate humans, animals, or plants as an act of war.
Biological Warfare
This formed during standard lab procedures like pipetting, mixing, and centrifuging and poses the greatest potential risk for infection
Aerosols / Bioaerosols
This is the lowest security level for handling bilogical material. This kind of material poses no or only a low risk to healthy adult humans and presents minimal potential hazard to laboratory personnel and the environment
Biosafety Level 1
Identify the Biosfaetly level from this biological Material:
E. coli
BSL 1
Identify the Biosfaetly level from this biological Material:
Canine Adenovirus type
BSL 1
Identify the Biosfaetly level from this biological Material:
Saccharomyces cerevisae
BSL 1
Identify the Biosfaetly level from this biological Material:
Nematodes
BSL 1
Thi biological material used in this biosafety level consists of bacteria, viruses, and organisms associated with human diseases. The potential pathogenic or infectious organims in this biosafetly level pose a moderate hazard to healthy human adult.
Biosafetyl Level 2
The main difference in the work procedures followed in a BSL 1 and BSL 2 is that employees will use a ____ as a primary barrier for potentially hazardous aerosols.
Biosafety Cabinet (BSC)
Identify the Biosfaetly level from this biological Material:
Chlamydia pnuemoniae
BSL 2
Identify the Biosfaetly level from this biological Material:
Enterobacter spp.
BSL 2
Identify the Biosfaetly level from this biological Material:
Herpes Simplex Virus and HIV
BSL 2
This biosafety level ivolves handling inidgenous or exotic agents that may cause serious or potentially lethal diseases thorugh inhilation and/or poses serious threat to the environment.
Biosafety Level 3
Identify the Biosfaetly level from this biological Material:
Yersinia pestis
BSL 3
Identify the Biosfaetly level from this biological Material:
Hepatits A
BSL 3
Identify the Biosfaetly level from this biological Material:
West Nile Virus
BSL 3
This biosafety level entails handling very dangerous and exotic biological material that may cause infection inside the laboratory as the result of aerosols. Biological material also handled at this level relates to existing infectious material where the disease transmission is unknown.
Biosafetly Level 4
Identify the Biosfaetly level from this biological Material:
Ebola Virus
BSL 4
Identify the Biosfaetly level from this biological Material:
Lassa Virus
BSL 4
Identify the Biosfaetly level from this biological Material:
Marburg-Virus
BSL 4
It refers to the control of Microbial growth
Microbial Control
agent responsible for killing of microorganisms
Bactericidal
“cidal agent”
agent responsible of inhibiting the growth of microorganisms
Bacteriostatic
“static agents”
refers to killing all microbes & viruses. In or on objects. It could be done by physical, checmical or physiochemical
Sterilization
refers to elimination of most harmful organisms and viruses. On inanimate objects. Done checmically.
Disinfection
refers to inhibition of pathogenic microognisms. On living tissues.
Antisepsis
refers to parasite control. Promotion of health or prophylactic application. Use of radiation or microwaves.
Degermination
r
refers to Public health conditions. Clean drinking water. Adequate human waste and sewage treatment and disposal
Sanitation
refers to Free from disease-causing microorganisms. Eliminate infection. Procedure performed under sterile condtion.
Asepsis
Also identify if it is Physical or Chemical Method
For inanimate object and materials that can withstand high temperature
Heat
Physical
Also identify if it is Physical or Chemical Method
Inhibiting microbial growth under heat that refers to burning. Used for contaminated materials.
Incineration
Physical
Moist heat inhibits microbial growth through boiling or steaming. Microbes should be autoclave at _______
15 psi, 121.5 degrees C
Dry heat inhibits microbial growth for metals, glassware, powders, oils, waxes. It should be baked in an oven at ___________
160-165 degrees C for 2 hours or 170-180 degrees C for 1 hour.
Also identify if it is Physical or Chemical Method
It does not completely inhibit microbial growth
Refregiration
Physical
