The Human Microbiome in Early Life: Implications to Health and Disease presents recent research advances that have highlighted the significance of early life, possibly beginning before birth, in the establishment of both the microbiome and its role in health and disease. The book reviews current knowledge on the origins of the human microbiota in early life, presents exposures which may disturb normal microbial colonization, and covers their implications to the risk of disease. Finally, emerging means to modify the early human microbiome to improve health are discussed.
- Examines the timeline of the human microbiome, from before conception to infancy, with an emphasis on clinical implications
- Evaluates the effort to understand not only the composition but also the origin of the microbiome
- Proves the emerging means to modify the human microbiome and particularly 'the first 1000 days of life' improve human health and prevent disease
- Generates resources to facilitate characterization of the human microbiota to further our understanding of how the microbiome impacts human health and disease
