Associations between the composition of the intestinal microbiome
and many human diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease,
cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, and cancer, have been
elegantly described in the past decade. Now, whole-genome
sequencing, bioinformatics, and precision gene-editing techniques
are being combined with centuries-old therapies, such as fecal
microbiota transplantation, to translate current research into new
diagnostics and therapeutics to treat complex diseases. Bugs as
Drugs provides a much-needed overview of microbes in therapies and
will serve as an excellent resource for scientists and clinicians
as they carry out research and clinical studies on investigating
the roles the microbiota plays in health and disease. In Bugs as
Drugs, editors Robert A. Britton and Patrice D. Cani have assembled
a fascinating collection of reviews that chart the history, current
efforts, and future prospects of using microorganisms to fight
disease and improve health. Sections cover traditional uses of
probiotics, next-generation microbial therapeutics, controlling
infectious diseases, and indirect strategies for manipulating the
host microbiome.
