The Microbiota in Gastrointestinal Pathophysiology: Implications for Human Health, Prebiotics, Probiotics and Dysbiosis is a one-stop reference on the state of the art research on gut microbial ecology in relation to human disease. This important resource starts with an overview of the normal microbiota of the gastrointestinal tract including the esophagus, stomach, Ileum and colon. It goes on to identify what a healthy vs. unhealthy microbial community looks like including methods of identification. Also included is insight into which features and contributions the microbiota make that are essential and useful to host physiology. Also included is information on how to promote appropriate mutualisms and prevent undesirable dysbioses. Through the power of synthesizing what is known by experienced researchers in the field, current gaps are closed, raising understanding of the role of the microbiome and allowing for further research.
