In biological laboratories, contamination can arise from various sources, including airborne particles, equipment, reagents, and human error. Common contaminants responsible for spoilage in biological laboratories include bacteria, fungi, virus etc. Bacteria are ubiquitous in the environment and can contaminate laboratory samples, cultures, and media. There is a possibility of transferring microorganisms from one laboratory to the other during the course of activities that involves moving of materials. In this present work we had been identify three bacterial species like Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumonia, Enterococcus Sp. which responsible for lab spoilage. Therefore measures like cleaning of lab, using protective gears, autoclaving of glassware needed to minimize lab contamination.
