Block's Disinfection Sterilization and Preservation-6판

Description:

With more international contributors than ever before, Block's Disinfection, Sterilization, and Preservation, 6th
Edition, is the first new edition in nearly 20 years of the definitive technical manual for anyone involved in
physical and chemical disinfection and sterilization methods. The book focuses on disease prevention-rather than
eradication-and has been thoroughly updated with new information based on recent advances in the field and
understanding of the risks, the technologies available, and the regulatory environments.

International authorship has expanded, and editors and contributors have extensive backgrounds in antimicrobial
control of infection risks.

Discusses new understandings of microbes and how to manage them through disinfection and prevention.

Content addresses chemical types of disinfectants/sterilants, physical disinfection/sterilization technologies,
test methodologies, and more.

eBook features a selection of full-color figures.
