Microbial ecology in states of health and disease : workshop summary

Microbial ecology in states of health and disease : workshop summary / Eileen R. Choffnes, LeighAnne Olsen, Alison Mack, rapporteurs.

Individually and collectively, resident microbes play important roles in host health and survival. Shaping and shaped by their host environments, these microorganisms form intricate communities that are in a state of dynamic equilibrium. This ecologic and dynamic view of host-microbe interactions is...
