SS Block, editor
5th edition, 410 illus., 1,504 pp., 2000.
This new edition discusses in detail the many events and developments that have occurred in the past decade since the last edition was published.
From pathogenic bacteria that have become resistant to all antibiotics used to control them...to increasingly threatening microbial assaults, including the spread of HIV around the world and millions of new cases of tuberculosis every year...to the threat of biological warfare by terrorists and rogue nations...to sophisticated medical and surgical advances that may have added to the problem - all of these subjects and many others are thoroughly examined.
You'll explore the many new tools we have to cope with these problems, as well as improved traditional tools. From intense pulsating beams of light for sterilizing vaccines and other fluid pharmaceuticals during the manufacturing process...to greater utilization of electron-beam and x-ray sterilization in addition to ultra-violet disinfection...to methods of microbial destruction employing high-pressure, high-intensity electric field pulses and oscillating magnetic field pulses...to new methods for disinfecting and disposal of medical wastes - it's all here.
The book also addresses the need to find new, effective antibiotics and synthetic chemicals and the need for more emphasis to be placed on preventing infection by sterilization, disinfection, preservation, antisepsis, and asepsis of the antimicrobial agents described.
