Sylvester is correct when he replies that the following biosafety level is applicable inside the clinical laboratory when working with specimens that are potentially contaminated with pathogens that presents a moderate risk of causing human diseases such as the hepatitis B virus, HIV, and Salmonella species?
Explanation
Answer: B - BSL - 2
BSL - 2 is the biosafety level that is applicable inside the clinical laboratory when dealing with samples that are potentially contaminated with pathogens that presents a moderate risk of causing human diseases. These pathogens include Hepatitis B virus, HIV, Salmonella species and Toxoplasma. This biosafety level is adequate when working with human blood samples, body fluids, tissues, or cells where these pathogens may be present or their presence is unknown. Other choices do not appropriately address the specific pathogens in the question stated above.
