A biological hazard, or biohazard, is a biological substance that poses a threat (or is a hazard) to the health of living organisms, primarily humans. This could include a sample of a microorganism, virus or toxin that can adversely affect human health. A biohazard could also be a substance harmful to other living beings. [a]
Gram-positive cocci and rod-shaped bacteria are the predominant microorganisms found in the small intestine. [5] However, in the distal portion of the small intestine alkaline conditions support gram-negative bacteria of the Enterobacteriaceae. [5] The bacterial flora of the small intestine aid in a wide range of intestinal functions.

The USDA animal safety list is located at 9 CFR Subchapter B. [4] Not all select agents require BSL-4 handling, namely select bacteria and toxins, but most select agent viruses do (with the notable exception of SARS-CoV-1 which can be handled in BSL3). Many non-select agent viruses are often handled in BSL-4 according to facility SOPs or when ...
Certain procedures in which infectious aerosols or splashes may be created are conducted in biological safety cabinets or other physical containment equipment. [21] Extreme precautions are taken with contaminated sharp items. Biosafety level 2 is suitable for work involving agents of moderate potential hazard to personnel and the environment. [22]

Chemical hazards typically found in laboratory settings include carcinogens, toxins, irritants, corrosives, and sensitizers. Biological hazards include viruses, bacteria, fungi, prions, and biologically derived toxins, which may be present in body fluids and tissue, cell culture specimens, and laboratory animals.
Some of the microorganisms are killed in the stomach, while the surviving ones enter the small intestine and multiply in tissues. Gastric acidity is responsible for the destruction of the majority of ingested bacteria, but Salmonella has evolved a degree of tolerance to acidic environments that allows a subset of ingested bacteria to survive.
