About the Author :
David Fredricks is an expert in infectious diseases and the human indigenous microbiota, with a research focus on the bacterial biota of the human vagina and how changes in the composition of vaginal microbes lead to the syndrome bacterial vaginosis. He has authored more than 32 peer reviewed journal articles, 7 book chapters, and 9 editorials or invited reviews. He has been a peer reviewer for more than a dozen major medical and infectious diseases journals, and has served on several NIH study sections.

Review :
“Overall, this book provides a concise overview of the human microbiota in and on different body sites, a bit too concise for me. It fulfils the intention to discuss many different body sites but in doing so neglects to get to the detailed description of the human microbiota, let alone to give a good overview of their role in health and disease.”  (Beneficial Microbes, 1 March 2014) “Having said that, I’m sure the book will be of interest to all those studying the effects of micro-organisms on the human body.”  (Microbiology Today, 30 August 2013)
