Under United States law, Biological select agents or toxins (BSATs) — or simply select agents for short — are bio-agents which (since 1997) have been declared by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) or by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to have the "potential to pose a severe threat to public health and safety". The agents are divided into (1) HHS select agents and toxins affecting humans; (2) USDA select agents and toxins affecting agriculture; and (3) overlap select agents and toxins affecting both.

  • Sota la llei dels Estats Units de Nord-amèrica, "Biological Select Agents or Toxins" (BSATs) — o abreujadament Select Agents, Agents Seleccionats — son aquells agents microbiològics que des de l'any 1997 han estat declarats per Departament de Salut (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)) o el Departament d'Agricultura (U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)) com a poseidors de "potencial per suposar una greu amenaça a la seguretat i a la salut publica”. Aquests agents es divideixen en: Agents seleccionats i toxines que afecten a humans, i per tant és una llista generada pel HHS; agents seleccionats i toxines d'importància en agricultura (i aquí s'inclou la ramaderia) en una llista redactada per USDA i finalment una llista d'agents seleccionats i toxines que es solapen, és a dir, que figuren en ambos llistats. Els Centres per al Control i Prevenció de Malalties, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) regula els laboratoris que poden posseir, emprar i transferir agents seleccionats dintre dels Estats Units a través del Programa d'Agents Seleccionats, també anomenant Federal Select Agent Program (FSAP), des d'el 2001. El FSAP es va establir a conseqüència del reforçament de les polítiques de seguretat i prevenció enfront del bioterrorisme, a partir del 2001, com a conseqüència dels atacs terroristes de l'11 de setembre i de la posterior crisis postal per àntrax, aquell mateix any. L'ús de BSATs en la recerca biomèdica ha aixecat certa preocupació per la possibilitat de doble ús, o ús espuri, malintencionat, del resultats de la recerca. Als EUA el govern federal va crear el Consell Assessor Científic Nacional per la Bioprotecció (National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity, NSABB) que promou la bioprotecció en la recerca en ciències de la vida. Està constituït per membres del govern, experts acadèmics i personal de la indústria que proposen polítiques i recomanacions sobre la manera de minimitzar la possibilitat que alguns coneixements que emanen de la recerca biològica puguin ser mal emprats per amenaçar la salut pública o la seva seguretat nacional.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) regulates the laboratories which may possess, use, or transfer select agents within the United States in its Select Agent Program (SAP) — also called the Federal Select Agent Program (FSAP) — since 2001. The SAP was established to satisfy requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 and the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002, which were enacted in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks and the subsequent 2001 anthrax attacks. Using BSATs in biomedical research prompts concerns about dual use. The federal government created the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity which promotes biosecurity in life science research. It is composed of government, education and industry experts who provide policy recommendations on ways to minimize the possibility that knowledge and technologies emanating from biological research will be misused to threaten public health or national security.
