Pharmaceutical microbiology has a bearing on all aspects of pharmacy, from the manufacture and quality control of pharmaceutical products through to an understanding of the mode of action of antibiotics.

Fully revised and restructured, drawing on the contributions of subject experts, and including material relevant to the European curricula in pharmacy, the eighth edition covers:

biology of micro-organisms pathogens and host response prescribing therapeutics contamination and infection control pharmaceutical production current trends and new directions

Hugo and Russell’s Pharmaceutical Microbiology, a standard text for Schools of Pharmacy for seven editions, continues to be a user-friendly and authoritative guide for both students and practitioners of pharmacy and pharmaceutical microbiology.

''Highly Commended'' in the Pharmacology section of the 2012 BMA Book Awards

Hugo & Russell’s Pharmaceutical Microbiology Discover the very latest developments in pharmaceutical microbiology in the 9th edition of this popular textbookMicrobiology is one of the essential pharmaceutical sciences upon which the study and practice of pharmacy is built. It has a bearing on all aspects of the manufacture of medicines and sterile products, from their design and development to their delivery as quality products. Few interventions are more central to modern medicine than the treatment of infection, where antibiosis, vaccination and hygienic practices have essential roles to play. The COVID-19 pandemic, the appearance of new pathogens and the rise of antibiotic resistance have demonstrated most completely the need for pharmaceutical practitioners, researchers and industrial scientists to be fully conversant with this field.The 9th edition of Hugo and Russell’s Pharmaceutical Microbiology has been updated to meet this need. Having long served as the sole comprehensive textbook covering this subject, it has now been adapted to a critical new period in the advancement of medical and pharmaceutical research and development. Its experienced editors have incorporated contributions from subject experts and created a text which will serve the next generation of pharmacy students, pharmaceutical industry scientists and researchers.In this ninth edition of Hugo and Russell’s Pharmaceutical Microbiology, readers will find: A mix of established and new authors bringing practical and research experience to their chaptersMaterial covering the fundamentals of microbiology, microbial behavior and laboratory investigationRevised chapters incorporating new material on microbe-host interactions, antibiotic resistance, emerging pathogens, public health microbiology, healthcare-associated infection and pharmaceutical manufactureEmerging understandings from the COVID-19 pandemic on infection prevention and control and vaccine developmentPractitioners providing their insights on clinical practice and pharmaceutical productionAn accompanying website incorporating teaching resourcesHugo and Russell’s Pharmaceutical Microbiology, 9th edition promises to remain the essential text for pharmacy and medical students, as well as researchers and industry professionals.
