A
new paper of interest has been published. The paper concerns the validation of
a phenotypic microbial identification system to understand how efficiently the
system works with cleanroom bacteria. Although the paper concerns a specific
system (the GEN III OmniLog® ID System), the paper is designed to act as a case
study.
The
paper has been published in the European Journal of Parenteral &
Pharmaceutical Sciences.
The
abstract reads:
“Accurate
microbial identification is of importance in assessing product and
environmental risks in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Identification is
important to assess the origin of contamination and to formulate corrective
actions for contamination events. Many of the systems available either require
manual manipulation and subjectivity in reading, and are, therefore, prone to
errors, or consist of databases than err towards the clinical setting. This
paper outlines the validation steps for the evaluation of a microbial
identification system capable of screening industrial microflora: the GEN III
OmniLog® ID System.”
