Microbiological contamination control is the process of preventing the introduction of infectious materials like bacteria, yeast, mold, fungi, viruses, prions, and protozoa.
The three standard options for contamination control are prevention, cleaning, and monitoring.

Bacteria grow faster in the summer months because of the warmer temperatures and moisture.
In fact, bacterial growth can be four to five times higher in the summer than in the winter.
Most bacteria that cause disease grow fastest in the temperature range between 41 and 135 degrees F, which is known ...
A vacuum leak test is used to determine the air-tight integrity of a pre-vacuum autoclave’s chamber and plumbing system.
A vacuum leak test is performed on an autoclave to check for any leakage. This test is also called a chamber integrity test.
The test exposes the autoclave’s plumbing and ...
Validation of aspect processing should increase a process stimulation test using nutrient medium called media fill. A media fill is one part of the validation of an aseptic manufacturing process. The goal of a media fill is to test whether the aseptic procedure is adequate to prevent microbiological ...
Pharmaceutical microbiology, however, is concerned with the relatively small group of biological agents that cause human disease, spoil prepared medicines or can be used to produce compounds of medical interest. Common microorganisms to be checked during pharmaceutical products preparation are –
