BMS533 PRAC# 2 : Good Microbiological Practices (GMP)
Objective
Introduction
GMPs are central to any biorisk management programs. Most of you should have been taught
the basic GMP when you are first introduced to the Microbiology Lab. For this session, we will
attempt to write a set of GMP guidelines for routine work in a BSL2 laboratory, where microbes
that can cause infections are routinely handled. The purpose is for everyone to be on the same
page, as different lecturers may have taught you slightly different versions of GMPs. We will
do this by considering the 'correct' actions to take from the moment you want to enter the lab
to the point you leave the lab.

1. Do not bring in your mobile phone.
2. Do not wear loose sleeves, open-toed shoes, and contact lenses as they are impractical
when working.
3. Do not bring the food or drinks into the lab.
