Chapter 7.1
The CDC-NIH publication, "Biosafety in Microbiological
and Biomedical Laboratories, 4th edition" lists the appropriate biosafety
levels for animal work with numerous microorganisms, and the work practices which
should be implemented. (NOTE: For a much more extensive listing of organisms and
biosafety levels, see the NIH document listed under Recombinant DNA).
