Detail:

Work with micro-organisms involves the use of both good microbiological practice and containment. Often these terms are misused and misunderstood. The simplest way of describing them is as follows:
• Good microbiological practice is used to keep the micro-organisms being handled in the “test tube” without any other organisms getting in and contaminating the work.
• Containment is also used to keep the micro-organisms being handled in the “test tube” but the main objective is to ensure that if any did get out of the “test tube” (either by accident or when the work is finished) they are unlikely to present a danger to laboratory workers and they do not get out of the laboratory
