Description and Table of Contents
Description
Humans as well as many animals harbour a dense and complex population of bacteria in their digestive tract which forms a bacteria-host ecosystem. In this ecosystem a great number of reactions take place between microorganisms and intestinal cells on the one hand, and food and endogenous substances on the other. The extensive reviews in this volume provide in-depth coverage of the relationships between microflora and human health. They will greatly interest physicians, nutritionists, microbiologists, physiologists, pathologists and biochemists.
