Human Microbiome Drug Targets: Modern Approaches in Disease Management presents fundamental information on the human microbiome, looking into the relationship between the microbiome and how it changes with specific diseases. Delving into the multifaceted roles of the microbiome in health and disease, the book's chapters discuss the role of the human microbiome in the pathophysiologic understanding of relevant diseases or disorders and their management. As changes in the human microbiome can provide clues to the probable cause and effect of diseases or disorders, as well as the impacts of therapy or intervention, this book is a welcomed addition to the existing research.Explaining how a better understanding of the microbiome and its impact on health and disease can pave the way for future discoveries leading to better health outcomes, this book will be of interest to drug developers, medicinal chemists, microbiologists, infectious disease specialists, biochemists, and students.
