Synopsis

In recent years, the importance of the microflora has inspired a great deal of research based on the tools of modern molecular biology, microbiology and medicine.

The purpose of this profoundly multidisciplinary volume is to provide a comprehensive up-to-date review of what is known about the gut microflora and its impact on disgestive physiology and pathology for all those interested in this fascinating subject.
