The Human Microbiota offers a comprehensive review of all human-associated microbial niches in a single volume, focusing on what modern tools in molecular microbiology are revealing about human microbiota, and how specific microbial communities can be associated with either beneficial effects or diseases. An excellent resource for microbiologists, physicians, infectious disease specialists, and others in the field, the book describes the latest research findings and evaluates the most innovative research approaches and technologies. Perspectives from pioneers in human microbial ecology are provided throughout.

"Overall, this book provides a concise overview of thehuman microbiota in and on different body sites, a bit too concisefor me. It fulfils the intention to discuss many different bodysites but in doing so neglects to get to the detailed descriptionof the human microbiota, let alone to give a good overview of theirrole in health and disease." (BeneficialMicrobes, 1 March 2014)
"Having said that, I'm sure the book will be ofinterest to all those studying the effects of micro-organisms onthe human body." (Microbiology Today, 30 August2013)
