  The fourth edition of this text aims to provide a concise but comprehensive introduction to the branch of applied microbiology which deals with the manufacture and control of sterile and non-sterile medicinal products. It also discusses antimicrobial drugs, their mode of action and the mechanisms of microbial resistance. This new edition contains a considerable amount of new material and several existing chapters appear under new authorship. In addition, more-clinically related data has been incorporated into the text with the introduction of chapters on the principles of pathogenicity and the clinical uses of antibiotics.

  Pharmaceutical microbiology deals with the interaction between drugs and microorganisms. This book, the fifth edition of an established textbook, falls into three distinct parts. The first is a concise account of the anatomy and physiology of bacteria, viruses, yeast and fungi. The second and third parts examine, respectively, the action of pharmaceutical agents such as antibiotics on microbes and the action of microbes on pharmaceutical products. The latter section includes coverage of factory and hospital hygiene and microbial spoilage of pharmaceutical products during manufacturing.
