New Document:  CDC & NIH's "Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories" 5th edition

This updated document was released in February of 2007 and outlines the standard for biosafety practices for laboratory and animal research that involves the use of agents infectious to humans.  Links to sections of this document will be updated on the website shortly.  Informational seminars regarding practice standard revisions are scheduled for April (see the March 2007 Biosafety Culture).
