Prevention of meningococcal infection in laboratory workers--an audit of practice in England and Wales.

R Boutet1, J M Stuart, D M Jones, E B Kaczmarski.   

Abstract

A survey of clinical microbiology laboratories in England and Wales found that in 12% of laboratories a class 1 microbiological safety cabinet was not always used for manipulating suspensions of live meningococci. The recommendation that a safety cabinet should always be used for such purposes needs reiteration and implementation.
