Research in immunobiotics has significantly evolved as researchers employed cutting-edge technologies to investigate the complex interactions of these beneficial microorganisms with the immune system. During the last decade, our understanding of immunobiotics-host interaction was profoundly transformed by the discovery of microbial molecules and host receptors involved in the modulation of gut associated immune system, as well as the systemic and distant mucosal immune systems. In recent years, there has been a substantial increase in the number of reports describing the beneficial effects of immunobiotics in diseases such as intestinal and respiratory infections, allergy, inflammatory bowel disease, obesity, immunosuppression, and several other immune-mediated conditions. Evidence is also emerging of immunobiotics related molecules with immunomodulatory functions leading to the production of pharmabiotics, which may positively influence human or animal health. Therefore, research in immunobiotics continue to contribute not only to food but also medical and pharmaceutical fields. The compilation of research articles included in this ebook should help reader to have an overview of the recent advances in immunobiotics. 517 $aImmunobiotics 610 $ainfection 610 $ainflammation 610 $amucosal immune system 610 $abeneficial microbes 610 $aImmunobiotics 610 $alactic acid bacteria 610 $aprobiotics 700 $aHaruki Kitazawa$4auth$01326360 702 $aJulio Villena$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910346751303321 996 $aImmunobiotics: Interactions of Beneficial Microbes with the Immune System$93037375 997 $aUNINA
