The microbial indicators of the Microbiological Test mainly include: total bacteria, mold and yeast, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Candida albicans, Clostridium, Enterobacter and Gram-negative Bacteria and bile are resistant to Gram-negative bacteria.
The regulations/standards on which microbiological testing is based include:
●European Pharmacopoeia (EP 2.6.12 & 2.6.13);
●British Pharmacopoeia (BP Appx. XVI B)
●United States Pharmacopoeia (USP61&62);
● Guidelines of the European Union Cosmetics and Fragrances Association (Cosmetics Europe);
●Cosmetics and Fragrances Association (TFA).
