Summary

Pharmaceutical microbiology may be defined as that part of microbiology which has a special bearing on pharmacy in all its aspects. This ranges from the manufacture and quality control of pharmaceutical products in general to an understanding of the mode of action of antibiotics. The authors have provided a concise textbook for pharmacy students to highlight those aspects of microbiology which impinge on the pharmaceutical industry.
