Preface
This volume communicates aspects of beneficial microorganisms in relation to medical treatment and health protection. They have been much emphasized on their roles to regulate gut well-being, including the alleviation of lactose intolerance, improvement of diarrhea, and inhibition of pathogenic bacteria in the gut. Recent evidence has also shown great potentials in immunomodulation, atopic applications, and stress management. Sophisticated in vitro tools and omics approaches have translated these potentials to the development of new vaccines and antibiotics, playing major roles in pharmaceutical and up-scaled industrial applications.
