Add your own review!

Overview

The two previous books ""Probiotics, The Scientific Basics"" and ""Probiotics 2, Applications and Practical Aspects"" covered the general area of probiotics and their uses. The present volume focuses on the important and rapidly expanding subject of immunomodulation by intestinal micro-organisms and brings together the results and opinions of leading researchers from all over the world. They bring to the compilation a depth of knowledge and analysis, which assures the book of serious consideration by all workers in probiotics and related disciplines.
