Plastics in the pharmaceutical industry are as ubiquitous as endotoxins. From solution containers to medical devices, plastics are not just commonplace. they are often the best material for the application. Because plastics are formed at very high temperatures that easily destroy endotoxins, plastics should be expected to be endotoxin-free. Unfortunately, the often excessive and usually uncontr...

Fungi are ubiquitous to the environment and primarily saprophytic, using nonliving organic material as a nutrient source for growth and reproduction. Many of these saprophytes can colonize organic waterdamaged building materials. During the digestion process fungi secrete enzymes into the nutrient source to break down complex compounds into simpler compounds, which are taken up by the fungi and...
