title: [The rules for the transport of microorganisms].
abstract: Every laboratory sometimes needs to transport microbial cultures. This is done mostly for the purposes of the research, teaching, or reference testing, at the national and international level. To ensure the highest possible safety for humans, animals and the environment, it is necessary to follow rules relating to the handling and transport of bacterial or fungal cultures. The article presents the basic rules for the transport of microorganisms and relevant links providing information about the shipping of infectious substances.
