Levels of Biohazard and Biosafety Protection for Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Strains with Varying Virulence

Miao Xu

Tuberculosis (TB) could be a chronic infectious disease caused by mycobacteria (MTB) that seriously endangers human health. TB is transmitted through the tract and poses nice safety risks to laboratory technicians and employees, through direct or indirect contact with MTB. Therefore, the excellent application of normal laboratory operative procedures, safety instrumentation, contingency plans, and different laboratory safety measures not solely ensures the safe handling of doubtless infectious microorganisms by laboratory employees however conjointly strives to stop the accidental exposure of doubtless harmful pathogens to larger communities. During this article, we tend to will discuss topics as safety risk assessments appropriate for handling the biohazard levels of MTB strains, and also the development of corresponding safety protection measures necessary for the safety of MTB testing and connected analysis that may be enforced at totally different levels of laboratory and medical specialty scenario.
