Gram – negative germs in the production environmentThe traditional focus on "household germs" narrows the view of the actual microbiological diversity in pharmaceutical production environments. This limitation can lead to significant risks, particularly with regards to Gram-negative bacteria. Based on real data, this presentation highlights the diversity of Gram-negative microorganisms in pharmaceutical production environments and demonstrates why a broader understanding of microbiological diversity is fundamental for risk assessment and contamination control.

Agenda

  • Global perspective: The diversity of Gram-negative bacteri
  • Gram-negative bacteria in pharmaceutical water systems
  • Resistance and human pathogenicity of Gram-negative bacteria
  • Product recalls due to Gram-negative isolates
  • The taxonomy of the “Enterobacteriaceae” as a challenge
