Microbes, Microbial Metabolism and Mucosal Immunity: An Overview presents a concise and well-vetted treatise on the study of microbiome and microbial metabolites. This volume is up-to-date with the most recent developments from the last decade. It encompasses the interaction of immunity and microbes - and their metabolites - from different mucosal organs including eye, skin, gastrointestinal system, lung, intestine, and cervix. Along with the efficiency of the immune system in inhibiting the growth and proliferation of microbes, the volume discusses how the mediators of the immune system can be targeted to develop therapies.This book presents the latest methods, gives broad and systematic coverage of most mucosal systems and diseases, and takes a fresh perspective that looks at the functional aspects of change in the microbiome. The study of microbiome and microbial metabolites and their roles in host mucosal immunology is a rapidly developing area of research. One major way in which the microbiome influences the host is through altered metabolism. Metabolites, readily available to the host, engender significant consequences. Microbial metabolites have been shown to impact the disease processes in both proximal and distal organs, including the brain in several neurocognitive disorders. Offers a concise solution for the study of microbiome, microbial metabolism, and mucosal immunologyPresents contemporary studies that incorporate the latest research methodsGives a broad and systematic accounting of most mucosal systems and diseasesLooks at the functional aspects of changes to the microbiome as well as specific changes to microbiotaAffords entry-level and advanced readers with the theory and knowledge needed for further research INDICE: 1.
