Clinical Understanding of the Human Gut Microbiome

This book synthesizes important areas of research and clinical focus in the gut microbiome and provides an up-to-date reference for clinicians seeking to expand their knowledge. The breadth and complexity of gut microbiome research makes it difficult for physicians and clinicians to access information. To aid readers, Clinical Understanding of the Human Gut Microbiome integrates a variety of human gut microbiome research so that physicians and clinicians can then make the best decisions in the care of their patients.

The book will provide an overview of the different players in the gut microbiome, including bacteria, yeast and other fungi, archaea, parasites, and viruses. It also describes how these microbes and their products and metabolites influence diverse clinical areas including diabetes, functional gastrointestinal disorders, colorectal cancer, and neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and the potential of emerging treatments.
