Types of Major Microorganisms in Pharmaceutical Water Systems and Control Measures
OBJECTIVE To analyze the types and control measures of major microorganisms in pharmaceutical water systems,so as to provide guidance for effective control of pharmaceutical water systems.METHODS The main microbial species,abundance and harmfulness of drinking water,purified water and water for injection were reviewed,and the control measures on microorganisms in pharmaceutical water were discussed.RESULTS There were differences in the main microbial types in pharmaceutical water.Burkholderia cepacia complex and Ralstonia pickettii were conditioned pathogens in pharmaceutical water,thus causing certain biological safety hazards.CONCLUSION Pharmaceutical companies can strengthen the control of microorganisms in the water system by establishing microbial databases and common microbial strain banks at all levels.Trend analysis should to be conducted based on alert limits and action limits,so as to strengthen the control of microorganisms in the water system.
