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 healthcareNew chapters on microbicide regulations in the EU, USA and CanadaLatest material on microbial resistance to microbicidesUpdated material on new and emerging technologies, focusing on special problems in hospitals, dentistry and pharmaceutical practicePractical advice on problems of disinfection and antisepti.
