Taking into account that 90 percent of quality control microbiology remains reliant upon culture based methods, this unique text focuses on microbiological culture media as applied to pharmaceutical microbiology. This book takes into consideration that innovations continue to arise with new media recipes that are formulated for the selection of new strains for the application of media in conjunction with rapid microbiological methods. In 23 chapters, the book covers how media is used in the modern pharmaceutical microbiology setting and recaps the past, signals the future, and helps interpret the present.
