Power Talk Series
Microbiology Method Validation

i3L proudly presents another episode from the i3L Power Talk event series. i3L Power Talk gives a unique opportunity for students and the public to actively engage in discussions with national and international experts on topics related to education, research, science, and business. This month we are inviting guest lecturer, apt. Frankly Limawan, S.Farm.- QC Supervisor at PT Apple Flavors and Fragrances

Online Webinar 4 December 2021

In the upcoming Power Talk, apt. Frankly Limawan, S.Farm.- QC Supervisor at PT Apple Flavors and Fragrances, will share his insights in Microbiology Method Validation – Enumeration, Pathogen Identification, and Rapid Method

Details of the event are as follows: 

Online Platform   : Zoom [Meeting ID and password will be delivered to registered email 1 day prior to the event] 

Day/Date           : Saturday, 4 December, 2021

i3L looks forward to seeing you on Wednesday! And do not forget to share this with your friends.

What is Enumeration?

Enumeration in microbiology is the determination of the number of individual viable microbes in a sample; four basic techniques are possible.

Microbiology is the study of microorganisms: microscopic or barely visible single-celled life-forms such as bacteria, archaea, protozoans and some fungi, and even some extremely small multicellular plants, animals and fungi. Microbiologists also study lifelike non-organismic phenomena such as viruses, prions, viroids and virions. “Microbe” is a catchall term for all of these entitie

What is a Pathogen?

A pathogen is usually defined as a microorganism that causes, or can cause, disease. We have defined a pathogen as a microbe that can cause damage in a host. However, this definition immediately raises the question of what it is about the microorganism that enables it to cause disease or damage; and this takes us to an ongoing debate that dates back to the late 19th century when the germ theory of disease was established. In the early days of the germ theory era many of the major pathogenic microbes were encapsulated or toxigenic bacteria, and this suggested that there were inherent differences between pathogenic and non-pathogenic microbes. 

However, even then it was obvious that neat classifications were problematic, for it was known that a microbe could be attenuated in the laboratory, but virulence could be restored by passage in a host, suggesting that the same microbe could exist in pathogenic and non-pathogenic states.

What is a Rapid Microbial-Detection Methods?

Rapid methods for microbial detection can be sensitive, precise, and quick. Yet the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries have been slow to embrace these techniques. To understand rapid microbial-detection methods better, Pharmaceutical Technology discussed the benefits, application, and challenges they entail with Orla M. Cloak, commercial development manager of rapid testing solutions at Lonza (Basel)

In general, rapid methods can be grouped into three distinctive categories in accordance with their application. These categories include qualitative, quantitative, and identification methods. Qualitative rapid methods provide a presence or absence result that indicates microbial contamination in a sample. Quantitative methods provide a numerical result that indicates the total number of microbes present in the sample. Identification methods provide us with a species or genus name for the microbial contaminant in a sample.
