The new edition of this established and highly respected text is
THE definitive reference in its field. It details methods for the
elimination or prevention/control of microbial growth, and
features:
* New chapters on bioterrorism and community healthcare
* New chapters on microbicide regulations in the EU, USA and
Canada
* Latest material on microbial resistance to microbicides
* Updated material on new and emerging technologies, focusing on
special problems in hospitals, dentistry and pharmaceutical
practice
* Practical advice on problems of disinfection and antiseptics in
healthcare
* A systematic review of sterilization methods, with uses and
advantages outlined for each
* Evaluation of disinfectants and their mechanisms of action with
respect to current regulations
The differences between European and North American regulations
are highlighted throughout, making this a truly global work, ideal
for worldwide healthcare professionals working in infectious
diseases and infection control.
