English Abstract These days the microbiological screening of animals is
an important part of the requirements of the study director due to GLP and
GMP requirements during the study. The new animal research building (D6) is
designed according to these requirements and because of specific
constructional features the microbiological status of the animals can be
controlled during the study. Together with access- and introduction
procedures of personnel, animals and materials a microbiological quality
system was implemented to quarantee as much as possible a stable
microbiological status of the animals during the study. In conclusion, as a
result of the consistency in implementation of procedures by personnel and
the specific constructional features, the microbiological status of the
animals has not changed evidently and was guaranteed as much as possible
during the studies in the last year.
