Abstract:

Prevention of occupationally acquired laboratory infection among experimenters and animal caretakers is easier when it is known if the microorganisms under study are excreted in the urine andor feces of the experimental animal. Appropriate precautionary procedures can then be established. This preliminary report lists 351 references to 56 diseases human laboratory infections of 43 of the diseases have occurred. The table shows whether the etiologic agent has been recovered, or could not be recovered, from the urine andor feces of man and various domestic and laboratory animals.
