An Introduction to the Microbiome in Health and Diseases

An Introduction to the Microbiome in Health and Diseases covers the compositional structure and roles of the human microbiome in health and disease. Sections discuss and foundational content, from bench to bedside in microbiology to trigger more in-depth knowledge and provide updated findings on today's hottest topic-the microbiome.  The book translates current findings of studies into clinical practice. Other sections give updates on the role of microbiome in health and several diseases, the impact of diet, exercise and gut microbiome, the plant microbiome, non-infectious environmental agents and autoimmunity. Enhances knowledge and presents updates on hot topics in the field of the microbiome Aims to translate results and recent findings of studies into clinical practice Enables global benefit sharing of advances in the field of microbiology through the publication of foundational, consensus building content Seeks to provide wide coverage across areas of microbiology, from basic to applied microbiology, and in health, medicine and translational microbiology INDICE: SECTION I INTRODUCTION, ROLE OF GENOMICS, PROTEOMICS AND BIOINFORMATICS IN MICROBIOME CHARACTERIZATION 1.
