This new volume in the series Emerging Infectious Diseases of the
21st Century is a novel book on the role of microbes in the
pathogenesis of common and disabling non-infectious diseases. New
insights have emerged over the past several years suggesting that
our commensal microflora of the gut is extremely important in
regulating physiological and immune functions of the body. Covered
are the perturbations of the normal composition of our endogenous
microbiota, influenced by diet and genetic predispositions, as well
as the mechanisms to produce common disorders such as obesity,
diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome, colon cancer and
atherosclerotic vascular diseases. Also explored is the evidence
suggesting that predisposition to increasingly common afflictions
such as asthma and multiple sclerosis is influenced, in combination
with our genetic composition, by early life exposure to
environmental microbes and the time of onset of common viral
infections. Chapters provide the most recent information on these
disorders with regards to epidemiology, current concepts on
pathogenesis and mechanisms of their biology, recent research and
data on the role of microbes, analysis of their validity and
conclusive remarks and areas for future research. The Role of
Microbes in Common Non-Infectious Diseases is an excellent resource
for both physicians and investigators from a broad range of
disciplines that will help to stimulate new concepts of disease
pathogenesis and lead to the unraveling of their mechanisms of
diseases and to novel treatments.
