Abstract
The current situation related to biosafety in bacteriological laboratories in the Russian TB units was comprehensively analyzed. Main problems promoting the increased risk of infection of laboratory personnel with tuberculous mycobacteria were detected. It was found out that during the investigated period cases of occupational tuberculosis had been registered in 5 out of 21 (23.8%) laboratories, thus biosafety requirements were not complied with in those laboratories. Causes of active disease development among laboratory personnel were analyzed and the evidence was provided on the need to improve infectious control in bacteriological laboratories of the Russian TB units and to enhance the level of knowledge in laboratory personnel related to provision of biological safety.
