The Microbiology and Engineering of Sterilization Processes, Twelfth
Edition is a reference book and quality manual for the microbial-control
area. The technical operations necessary to carry out the microbial-control process
involves the discipline of microbiology and engineering; consequently, a multidisciplinary
team is required. For this reason we have centered the content on the microbiology
and engineering of the sterilization processes.
The arrangement of the book achieves to understand and solve practical quality-control problems in the microbial-control area with the goal of providing an up-to-date package of basic information for persons working in or associated with the product sterilization field.
