Microbiological Control of Compendial Articles: A Workshop on Current Status and Future Directions of Compendial Standards
Overview
USP's role in microbiological control is to develop public standards pertaining to microbiological quality, including sterility assurance, that, along with other requirements, ensure the consistent quality of products—dosage forms, excipients, drug substances, food ingredients, and dietary supplements.
The workshop will present information on current USP Microbiology Expert Committee chapters and potential and draft chapters in the areas of bioburden control of nonsterile products, sterilization and sterility assurance, validation of alternate microbiological methods, and rapid/modern microbiological methods. The breakout sessions will solicit discussion and input from stakeholders.
Watch Dr. James Akers discuss the upcoming workshop and its relevance to sterile and non-sterile pharmaceutical products.
