FOOD BORNE MICROBES SHAPING THE HOST ECOSYSTEM (HB 2009)

This book uniquely addresses the impact, both positive and negative, of food-borne microbes on the host and their role in shaping the ecosystems of the gut and oral cavity. This book is a comprehensive reference for the general microbiology community, with particular interest to food and industrial microbiologists and those engaged in microbial ecology research.

• Addresses the impact, both positive and negative, of food-borne microbes on the host and their role in shaping the ecosystems of the gut and oral cavity
• Organized to reflect the progression of the microflora along the food chain from production to consumption, and the connections with the environment and the host flora
• Promotes the stimulation of new ideas and new opportunities in future food microbiology research
