A Textbook of Pharmaceutical Microbiology - Softcover

A Textbook of Pharmaceutical Mircobiology consists of five sections divided into twelve chapters. The first section deals with the scope, history and classification of microorganisms. The next two sections describe the nutrients and isolation of microorganisms, microbial genetics and sterilization techniques. The fourth section gives the details of basic of immunology and microbial assays and the final section contains relevant experiments. Key features: Covers microorganism structure and their functions, well defined classifications of microorganisms and microbial genetics. Includes sterilization processes in laboratory as well as in hospitals and control cross infections in hospitals. Content is explained diagrammatically. In depth coverage of staining techniques of bacteria. Basics of immunology: history, different antibodies classes, antigen-antibody reactions, hypersensitivity reactions, and immunological tolerance. Explains gene transfer, replication, transcription and translation processes.

"Textbook of Pharmaceutical Mircobiology" is an attempt to make each chapter independent and self-contained. This book is very important and essential for every pharmacy student because it's direct connection with pharmaceutical industry, particularly in manufacture of parenteral products, ophthalmic and vaccines etc. and their aseptic processing and sterilization.
