The complete guide to pharmaceutical microbiology and sterility assurance. This book has been written by the leading experts in the field. This book is an indispensable reference guide for the pharmaceutical sector and to students of microbiology. This book therefore represents an unparalleled and unprecedented text in the field of pharmaceutical and medical device microbiology. Perhaps even more outstanding is the fact that this book not only covers subject matter and technical content which is established as best and expected practice, but also includes content regarded as possible, future and emerging technology or processes. The results of 45 years of scientific and technological development are laid down in these 33 chapters. These chapters, all written by international experts, give a vivid picture of today s pharmaceutical microbiology. The high standard of the chapters makes it an essential reference guide that should be on the shelf of everyone who is involved or interested in this field. Experts from top pharmaceutical companies like Baxter, Johnson and Johnson, Amgen, Pfizer, Patheon, Sartorious, Gador, Catalent, British NHS, GE Healthcare and many more top experts from industry and academics have come together to create this collection of knowledge of Microbiology as related to Pharmaceuticals, Medical Devices and Biotechnology. The requirements for contamination control will become even more stringent than today. Isolators or blow-fill-seal equipment have already replaced the conventional clean rooms and UDAF-hoods in many production facilitities. Conventional microbiological monitoring methods, requiring 3 to 5 days of incubation will become inappropriate. Equipment is already available allowing real time, simultaneous viable and non-viable counting. This book covers these key trends and developments. The list of authors includes chair and members of USP expert committee on Microbiology and Sterility Assurance, president and senior experts in Parenteral Drug Association, ISPE and ASTM.

In todays contemporary pharmaceutical industry, the focus has slowly but surely shifted from the elusive research pipeline and latest blockbuster molecules to current processes, efficiencies and manufacturing systems. A path most often taken by manufacturers today in this direction includes improving their overall quality and compliance efforts. This results in a two-pronged approach of minimizing the litigation cost and concurrently improving the overall quality of the products and efficiencies in their processes and procedures. This book provides current thinking and approaches to achieving quality and compliance from top industry experts and is pioneering in bringing this wealth of information together in a single volume which will be of great use to the pharmaceutical industry. Compliance and quality issues have been comprehensively covered, from GMP requirements to deviation management, OOS and CAPA methodologies, QRM and QMS practical implementation, qualification and validation, records and documentation practices, latest GMP training techniques and performance metrics for compliance and detailed analysis of ICH guidelines for practical implementation. This book aligns with the FDA s 21st century initiative and the ICH guidelines focused on quality risk management (ICH Q8, Q9, Q10 and Q11) and underpins the importance of science based decisions and risk evaluation as the centerpiece of compliance policy and execution. It provides a pragmatic framework for establishing a robust quality system.
