Cleanroom Microbiology for the Non-Microbiologist - Tapa dura

Written for the professional who has an immediate need for the information but has little or no training in the subject, Cleanroom Microbiology for the Non-Microbiologist introduces principles of microbiology. It explains the consequences of microbiological contamination, what contamination is all about, how microorganisms grow, and how they can be controlled. The book introduces the vocabulary of microbiology and the types, sources, control, and elimination of organisms encountered in the manufacture of sterile products. Beginning with a discussion of the various types of organisms, the text then covers applications for bacterial detection, avoidance of contamination, cleanroom design considerations, and validation of disinfection methods.

This book is especially relevant for supervisors and managers who need a sound understanding of contamination control and is particularly effective for use in training. It also is an excellent resource for validation engineers, quality assurance and non-microbiologist quality-control staff, maintenance personnel, and process development staff.
