We have a push for undergrad research (at our primarily
undergrad institution), and a student wants to work with a Level 2 organism
(Staph. aureus) under the supervision of our cell biologist. This will
be the first time a non-faculty member has worked directly with a level 2
organism here. Please share thoughts about whether this is/is not
advisable, the relative risks, etc. Being the first time this has come
up, we are in a position to formulate our policy. Many
thanks. Barry Ferm Chemical Hygiene

"Biosafety In the Laboratory" from national academy press.
Bound copies are also available from LSI.
Another good (and free online) publication is the World Health Organization
"Laboratory Biosafety Manual".
