Pharmaceutical microbiology is the application of microbiology in pharmaceutical and healthcare environments. It is an applied branch of microbiology that recognizes that the extremely wide variety of microorganisms in the environment is fertile with potential, some for utility and others for danger. Areas of utility include appropriate levels of fermentation for the production of drugs, food supplements, and industrial solvents, as well as the development of many vaccines of great importance to improving global health.
Pharmaceutical microbiology provides knowledge and understanding of the significance of the presence of various types of microorganisms and toxins (microbial by-products such as endotoxins and pyrogens) in pharmaceutical raw materials, intermediates, finished products and pharmaceutical manufacturing environments. Microbiological control of pharmaceutical products, manufacturing environment and humans.
