Pharmaceutical Microbiology topics include the structure, identification, reproduction, and reproduction control of microorganisms; microorganisms causing infections; mechanisms of action of antimicrobial agents; resistance mechanisms to antimicrobial agents; pharmaceutical products derived from microorganisms; and the immune system.

The Pharmaceutical Microbiology Department conducts research on the microbiological analyses of pharmaceutical products, determining microorganism limits specified in pharmacopoeias and performing microbiological controls before and after product manufacturing. The Department also explores sterilization and disinfection methods and monitors these methods, mechanisms of action and resistance mechanisms of antimicrobial agents, antibiotic-microorganism-host relationships, determining the antimicrobial effects and immunomodulatory activities of drug precursors, and using microorganisms in the development of new drugs and pharmaceutical products.
