In this presentation, we will explain what the different biosafety levels (BSL) are in a lab. We will explain in depth what the different safety measures are in these biosafety levels. In short, there are four different BSL levels:
BSL-1: low-risk organisms that pose little to no threat of infection (e.g. E. coli, cell lines)
BSL-2: human diseases that pose a moderate health hazard (e.g. Hepatitis B, primary cells)
BSL-3: microbes that can cause serious or potentially lethal disease through inhalation (e.g. COVID-19)
BSL-4: highly dangerous, fatal, and exotic microbes (e.g. Ebola)
