9th Edition
by Brendan F. Gilmore (Editor), Stephen P. Denyer (Editor)
Discover the very latest developments in pharmaceutical microbiology in the 9th edition of this popular textbook
Microbiology
is one of the essential pharmaceutical sciences upon which the study
and practice of pharmacy is built. It has a bearing on all aspects of
the manufacture of medicines and sterile products, from their design and
development to their delivery as quality products. Few interventions
are more central to modern medicine than the treatment of infection,
where antibiosis, vaccination and hygienic practices have essential
roles to play. The COVID-19 pandemic, the appearance of new pathogens
and the rise of antibiotic resistance have demonstrated most completely
the need for pharmaceutical practitioners, researchers and industrial
scientists to be fully conversant with this field.
The 9th edition of Hugo and Russell’s Pharmaceutical Microbiology
has been updated to meet this need. Having long served as the sole
comprehensive textbook covering this subject, it has now been adapted to
a critical new period in the advancement of medical and pharmaceutical
research and development. Its experienced editors have incorporated
contributions from subject experts and created a text which will serve
the next generation of pharmacy students, pharmaceutical industry
scientists and researchers.
In this ninth edition of Hugo and Russell’s Pharmaceutical Microbiology, readers will find:
- A mix of established and new authors bringing practical and research experience to their chapters
- Material covering the fundamentals of microbiology, microbial behavior and laboratory investigation
-
Revised chapters incorporating new material on microbe-host
interactions, antibiotic resistance, emerging pathogens, public health
microbiology, healthcare-associated infection and pharmaceutical
manufacture
- Emerging understandings from the COVID-19 pandemic on infection prevention and control and vaccine development
- Practitioners providing their insights on clinical practice and pharmaceutical production
