This chapter deals in general terms with infection control. Emphasis is placed on infection control in laboratory settings where forced amplification of biological organisms may occur and such organisms may be handled repetitively. This chapter is intended to give those individuals who use laboratory services a general idea of the types of protocols required in these labs. Protocols recommended for handling specific microorganisms are published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Scientists develop these protocols through trial and error as they learn more about the safe containment and handling of infectious microorganisms and other materials.
