Abstract: According to the provisions of “Laboratories-General Requirements for Biosafety” for the biosafety laboratory and “The Test Procedures of Tuberculosis Diagnostic Laboratory” for the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) bacteriology testing laboratories, in this paper we explore the basic requirements and shortcomings of the biosafety level Ⅱ(BSL-2) laboratory to offer some suggestions for the biosafety of Mtb bacteriology testing laboratory which can conduct Mtb isolating, culturing, drug susceptibility testing and genotyping and so on. It might contribute to similar settings and peers.

Key words: Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Bacteriological techniques, Laboratories, Security measures
