Document Summary
Lab 1: microbiology labs are classified according to risk of infections posed by the organisms studied. Bsl-1: work with microbes that do not cause disease in healthy individuals. Bsl-2: work with organisms associated with human disease but are not spread by aerosols. Bsl-3: work with organisms that cause serious human diseases that are transmitted by aerosols. Bsl-4: work with organisms that cause life-threatening disease by aerosols or unknown modes of transmission. To transfer microbes from one culture to another. The original culture, the sterile medium to be inoculated, your work area, and yourself. What are bedside inoculations, why are they used, and give examples of what types of bacterial infections bedside inoculations are appropriate for. Bedside inoculations are when aseptic techniques are using in the patient"s bedside setting rather in the lab. They are performed from specimens containing delicate, easily killed bacteria, such as bordetella pertussis, the cause of whooping cough, or.
