About the Book

This work describes the normal microflora of the human body (the collection of microbial species that inhabit the bodies of healthy human beings) and the consequences of the intimate relationships that we share with them. After considering the general complexity of normal microflora, it deals with the acquisition of the normal microflora, the association of microbes with host surfaces and their influence on host characteristics, the role of the normal microflora in health and disease, and their potential for modification. Discussion focuses on the human body, although the microflora of other species has been included where appropriate. This text should be useful as a text and reference work for professionals, teachers and students in microbiology, food and medical microbiology, health sciences, biology and medical laboratory sciences.

Table of Contents:
More than a smell: the complexity of the normal microflora. Happy Birthday: the acquisition of the normal microflora. Sticky microbes: the association of microbes with host surfaces. Invisible forces: the influence of the normal microflora on host characteristics. Undesirable company: the role of the normal microflora in disease. Internal renewal: the potential for modification of the normal microflora. Index.

Review :
Gerald Tannock is to be commended for putting together this concise book on the normal microflora. The book should be of interest to a wide variety of veterinary and medical students, as well as to graduate students and the research community interested in nutrition, biochemistry, physiology, immunology and infectious diseases - Trends in Microbiology; Tannock's book is suitable as a general work for readers interested in an overview of the human microbial flora. A useful addition to libraries. - Choice; Chapter titles such as `More than a smell: the complexity of the normal microflora' should be sufficient to tempt anyone even with only a passing interest in this subject to read this book, and they will not be disappointed. This [is a] very readable book. SGM Quarterly; Considering that there is no other up-to-date survey of the subject, this small book is a must for all scientists professionally dealing with human microflora or interested in microbial ecology of animals ... it is also a useful reference for physicians or microbiology teachers, and is recommended as bedside reading for anyone fascinated by our intimate interaction with a bunch of microbes that easily outnumber the cells of our body by order of magnitude. - Microbiology Europe; The writing is lively. The author has tried to produce a readable book and he has by and large succeeded...this book can be thoroughly recommended to undergraduates; they will enjoy it and its lessons will stand them in good stead. - Letters in Applied Microbiology
