biosafety level 5

METPO:1001106 · CLASS · REVIEWED

A biosafety level that is proposed as a classification beyond BSL-4 for hypothetical biological agents requiring enhanced containment.

BSL-5 proposed enhanced-hazard classification

DOI-backed graph linking hypothetical pathogen hazards exceeding BSL-4 thresholds to the proposed BSL-5 enhanced-containment classification.

enhanced pathogen hazard motivates biosafety level 5
Hazards exceeding BSL-4 thresholds motivate the proposed BSL-5 enhanced-containment classification.
- DOI:10.1146/annurev.micro.62.081307.162938 virulence factors Supports increasingly severe virulence-factor combinations as the rationale for hazard classes above BSL-4.
