[Scientific basis for hygienic classification of jeopardy caused by microorganisms applied in biotechnologies]

Based on studies of action characteristics (pathogeneity, general toxicity, immunotropic and dysbiotic effects) of 28 biotechnologic strains assigned to various taxonomy groups (Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, nocardial actinobacteria and actinobacteria, mold fungi and yeast-like fungi) and literature data, the authors suggested hygienic classification of microorganisms according to their jeopardy effects in the body and adjusted this classification to recommendations of international organizations (WHO, OECD).
