Microbiological safety of water.

Significant advances in water treatment over the last century have resulted in massive improvements in the microbiological safety of public drinking water supplies in the UK and the developed countries. Incidences of illness due to poor treatment or post-treatment contamination are rare, but when they occur tend to attract considerable media attention. A well managed water treatment works and s...

Design and validation of a tool for measuring knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) regarding chemical safety in laboratory

ABSTRACT Due to the increasing use of chemicals in academic laboratories, a tool to measure awareness of students regarding labeling, hazards and characteristics of chemicals is still needed. The aim of  this study was to design and validate a questionnaire to the assessing student’s knowledge about chemical hazards. The present study was conducted in two stages of design and evaluation of val...

Microbiological Food Safety for Vulnerable People

Foodborne pathogens are more likely to cause infection and to result in serious consequences in vulnerable people than in healthy adults. People with some increase in susceptibility may form nearly 20% of the population in the UK and the USA. Conditions leading to increased susceptibility are listed. The main factors leading to foodborne disease caused by major pathogens are outlined and exampl...

Common Contaminants of Bacteriology Laboratory: Microbiological Paramores

Frequent environmental contaminants within microbiology laboratory create not only diagnostic dilemmas but also poses major risk for health care workers and patients. Objective of our study was to isolate and identify the common laboratory contaminant bacteria with an ultimate goal to reduce false positive culture reports as well as Laboratory acquired infections. The study was conducted in Mic...
