title: [Risk of contamination by pipetting bacterial culture broth with "Pasteur pipettes" (author's transl)].
abstract: Our experiments have shown that the cotton plug located at the top end of a "Pasteur pipette" allows aerosol to escape upon aspiration of a bacterial culture broth and may be the cause of contamination. In the following, we propose the use of a bacteriological filter system which insures greater safety.
