Particulate Interactions in Dry Powder Formulation for Inhalation



Interactions between drug particulates are crucial in determining drug dispersion and deaggregation, and ultimately delivery efficiency. This book combines principles and factors in pharmaceutical powder technology, critically reviews some of the studies carried out in dry powder formulation development, and proposes possible strategies for improving their efficiency. The majority of these principles are applicable to other pharmaceutical solid dosage forms (e.g. tablets and capsules).

Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing Protocols



The reported increase in the occurrence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria serves to emphasize the importance of accurate susceptibility testing. This timely guide examines the role of the clinical microbiology lab in integrated patient care. The first section addresses basic susceptibility disciplines such as macro and microbroth dilution, agar dilution, and disk diffusion. The second section considers specialized susceptibility protocols that may be performed by a subset of labs, and emphasizes reproducible results. The third section covers antibiotic development and discusses antibiogram design and use. It includes extensive references and a table of antibiotic classes and common bug-drug susceptibilities.
