A Minimum Information about a High Containment Laboratory Experiment (MIHCLE) reporting standard
Experiments with high-risk pathogens are routinely conducted under strict conditions of biosafety and biosecurity. In this Comment, we propose a Minimum Information about a High Containment Laboratory Experiment (MIHCLE) reporting standard. Although conceived particularly for work in biosafety level (BSL) 4 laboratories, it can be generally applicable to any research performed in both high (BSL-3) and maximum (BSL-4) containment facilities.
