Basic Microbiology: History, Fundamentals and Insights is not simply about the basic science of microbiology, it also takes the science into the industrial setting and design and offers invaluable advice on how to apply concepts to the manufacture of pharmaceutical and healthcare products, and for keeping such products within microbial control. The book carries outcomes of present research to reach those whose aspiration allows using this information and know-how in basic settings.

Recently, molecular technologies have positively affected the field of microbiology, providing rapid quantitative as well as qualitative information on microorganisms present in a given sample. The development of microbiology-based inventions suggests a worthwhile but challenging prospect to create pharmaceutical products and harvest the superior potential therein. Some of the challenges while patenting the microorganisms can be overcome by updating aspirants related with ethical and regulatory issues, especially guidelines established in microbiology to explore its more clinical applications.
