• Sommario/riassunto: The study of the intestinal ecosystem of bacteria in the human gut-the gut microbiome-is a new field that is rapidly evolving. This book serves as an introduction to some of the new and exciting research that is being done in this field. Included are chapters that examine the following: Gut microbiome's roles in the pathogenesis of obesity and autoimmune disease The effect of nutrition on the richness of the microbial community The stability of the microbiome to various stressors Emerging ways to diagnose diseases using the microbiome Exciting prospects for using these microbes to cure diseas
