Blaser M. -. Henry Holt & Co (8 April 2014)
This engaging book on the importance of the microbiome in human health weaves the personal and professional experiences of its author, Dr Martin Blaser, into a thought-provoking commentary on the perils of inappropriate antimicrobial drug use.
In 16 chapters, Blaser, director of the New York University Human Microbiome Program, builds a case for recognizing the importance of commensal organisms, describes the effects of overuse of antibiotics on human ecology, and cites both personal and professional experiences to support his concerns.
