Introduction
Pharmaceutical Microbiology is a science which deals with microorganisms related clean rooms and drug intermediates finished drugs. Microbiology has great disciplinary in pharma to evaluate the microorganisms in finished goods.
Introduction
Pharmaceutical Microbiology is an applied branch of Microbiology. It involves the study of Microorganisms associated with the manufacture
of pharmaceuticals e.g. minimizing the number of
microorganisms in a process environment, excluding microorganisms and microbial
biproducts like Exotoxin and Endotoxin from water and other starting
materials, and ensuring the finished pharmaceutical product is sterile. Other
aspects of pharmaceutical microbiology include the research and development of anti-infective agents the use of
microorganisms to detect mutagenic, and carsinogenic activity in prospective drugs, and the use of microorganisms in the
manufacture of pharmaceutical products like insulin and human growth hormones.
Role of Microbiology in
Pharmaceutical Industry:
Microbiology play an
important role in pharmaceutical Industry to assure the Quality of the drugs.
For assuring the drugs need to perform many microbiological tests i.e.
- Environmental Monitoring
- Water Analysis
- Media Preparation
- Growth Promotion Test
- Microbial Limit Test
- Bacterial Endotoxin Test
- Sterility Test
- Antimicrobial Efficacy Test
- Preservative Efficacy Test
