5. Décrire succinctement les travaux sur la défense biologique réalisés dans l’installation, y compris le(s) type(s) de micro-organismes(9) et/ou toxines étudiés, et résumer les études en plein air sur les aérosols biologiques.

The Diagnostic Laboratories of the Institute of Microbiology, which are part of the University Hospital of Lausanne, are the Regional Competence Center for the primary analysis of samples suspicious of a bioterror-related background. Due to its other diagnostic activities, it is able to cover the whole spectrum of microbiology.

Of note, in 2017, the Diagnostic Laboratories of the Institute of Microbiology obtained the necessary funds for an upgrade and expansion of its BSL3 laboratory. The construction started in February 2017 and will be finished in May 2019. During this period all these activities are carried out in the research BSL3 laboratory of the Institute according to the good laboratories practices recommended.

The new BSL3 laboratory will be the reference BSL3 laboratory of the hospital (CHUV) for the diagnosis and manipulation of BSL3 samples, strains, microorganisms that may be encountered in the daily work as well as environmental samples for the Regional Laboratory Network.
