Pharmaceutical microbiology has a bearing on all aspects of
pharmacy, from the manufacture and quality control of
pharmaceutical products through to an understanding of the mode of
action of antibiotics.
Fully revised and restructured, drawing on the contributions of
subject experts, and including material relevant to the European
curricula in pharmacy, the eighth edition covers:
* biology of micro-organisms
* pathogens and host response
* prescribing therapeutics
* contamination and infection control
* pharmaceutical production
* current trends and new directions
Hugo and Russell’s Pharmaceutical Microbiology, a
standard text for Schools of Pharmacy for seven editions,
continues to be a user-friendly and authoritative guide for both
students and practitioners of pharmacy and pharmaceutical
microbiology.
