In recent years, the field of pharmaceutical microbiology has experienced numerous technological advances, accompanied by the publication of new and harmonized compendial methods. It is therefore imperative for those who are responsible for monitoring the microbial quality of pharmaceutical/biopharmaceutical products to keep abreast of the latest changes. Microbial Limit and Bioburden Tests: Validation Approaches and Global Requirements guides readers through the various microbiological methods listed in the compendia with easy-to-follow diagrams and approaches to validations of such test methodologies. Includes New and Updated Material Now in its second edition, this work is the culmination of research and discussions with technical experts, as well as USP and FDA representatives on various topics of interest to the pharmaceutical microbiologist and those responsible for the microbial quality of products, materials, equipment, and manufacturing facilities. New in this edition is an entire chapter dedicated to the topic of biofilms and their impact on pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical operations. The subject of rapid methods in microbiology has been expanded and includes a discussion on the validation of alternative microbiological methods and a case study on microbial identification in support of a product contamination investigation. Substantially updated and revised, this book assists readers in understanding the fundamental issues associated with pharmaceutical microbiology and provides them with tools to create effective microbial contamination control and microbial testing programs for the areas under their responsibility.

Un clásico que revalida su prestigio científico en los 21 capítulos que lo conforman y continúa siendo el texto de referencia indiscutido en su especialidad. La microbiología no es ya una simple disciplina: la emergencia del SIDA, los programas de trasplante de órganos y la longevidad de pacientes con enfermedades debilitantes hacen de cada especie bacteriana un patógeno potencial. Esto refleja una selección de nuevas informaciones que continuaron expandiéndose de modo exponencial desde la última edición. También aumentaron las ilustraciones en color, dispersas en cada capítulo para una mayor comprensión del texto

La sexta edición de este texto representa una evolución continua en el intento por comunicar a la audiencia el campo cada vez más complejo y desafiante del diagnóstico microbiológico. La organización general del texto, similar a la de las ediciones anteriores, contiene cambios importantes para reflejar la naturaleza dinamica de la especialidad.La explicacion ampliada del manejo y las cuestiones reguladoras en el laboratorio de diagnostico microbiologico refleja la realidad del ejercicio medico moderno.En esta edicion se presta una atencion apropiada a las tecnicas tradicionales que siguen teniendo importancia en los laboratorios clinicos, pero la importancia creciente de los metodos inmunologicos y sobre todo de las tecnicas moleculares justifica una discusion explicita de sus principios asi como una amplia cobertura en capitulos individuales cuando es apropiado.La filosofia subyacente sigue siendo la misma: el objetivo es proporcionar una explicacion extensa pero practica de la ciencia y el arte del diagnostico microbiologico. El libro proporciona una revision para estudiantes graduados, residentes de Anatomia Patologica y becarios de enfermedades infecciosas.

This book includes descriptive keys for identifying every stage of all the species of ticks reported in Europe and northern Africa. It includes descriptive texts on the ecology and prominent features of each species, together with ink illustrations and distribution maps of more than 60 species of hard and soft ticks. The text for each species was prepared by specialists, the illustrations were made especially for this book and the maps were compiled on the basis of more than 40 years of records. This book is the first to offer keys for more than 60 species of ticks (both immature and adult) in the target territory. It also includes supplementary information with bibliographical details for each species.

This work covers investigation techniques and analytical methodologies for addressing microbial contamination indoors. Microbial contamination indoors is a significant environmental and occupational health and safety problem. This book provides fundamental background information on fungal and bacterial growth indoors as well as in depth, practical approaches to analyzing and remedying problems. The information helps investigators, laboratory managers, and environmental health professionals properly use state of the science methods and correctly interpret the results. With chapters by expert microbiologists, mycologists, environmental professionals, and industrial hygienists, Sampling and Analysis of Indoor Microorganisms is a multidisciplinary, comprehensive reference on advanced approaches, covering: microbiological problems in a water damaged environment indoor construction techniques and materials that impact environmental microbiology microbial ecology indoors, airborne bacteria, genetic based analytical methods, and statistical tools for microorganism analysis microbiological sampling approaches and mold removal principles and methods, including specialized microbial remediation techniques for HVAC systems, legionellas and biofilms, and sewage contamination. It provides a forensic approach toward the assessment of fungal growth in the indoor environment. A must have guide for practicing professionals, including environmental health and safety personnel, public health officials, and building and construction engineers and architects, this is also a valuable reference for attorneys, home inspectors, water restoration personnel, mold remediation contractors, insurance adjusters, and others.
