Advances in Probiotics: Microorganisms in Food and Health highlights recent advances in probiotic microorganisms, commercial probiotics, safety aspects of probiotics, preparation and commercialization, microbiome therapy for diseases and disorders, and next generation probiotics. This is a comprehensive resource of developments of new formulations and products for probiotic and prebiotic food with focus on the microorganisms to enable effective probiotic delivery. The book deliberates contemporary trends and challenges, risks, limitations in probiotic and prebiotic food to deliver an understanding not only for research development purposes but also to benefit further standardize industrial requirements and other techno-functional traits of probiotics. At present there is no solitary volume to describe the probiotics and prebiotics properties, Advances in Probiotics: Microorganisms in Food and Health provides novel information to fill the overall gap in the market. It presents the most current information on probiotic and prebiotics for the food industry. This book is a valuable resource for academicians, researchers, food industrialists, and entrepreneurs. Presents a simulated gastrointestinal system to analyze the probiotics effects on gut microbiome for learning purpose Includes research information on Next Generation Probiotics to foster new formulations Provides comprehensive information on probiotic microorganism behavior for more accurate analysis Discusses the potential of probiotic and prebiotic foods in preventing disease

Antimicrobials: Synthetic and Natural Compounds summarizes the latest research regarding the possibilities of the most important natural antimicrobial compounds derived from various plant sources containing a wide variety of secondary metabolites. With collected contributions from international subject experts, it focuses primarily on natural products as a source of bioactive compounds that may be active against multidrug-resistant pathogens, providing an alternative to established antibiotics in controlling infectious diseases.Covering a wide range of marine, microbial, and plant-origin antimicrobials, the book examines the usefulness of plant products containing antimicrobial molecules against bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and viruses. It also reports on unusual sources of antimicrobials such as animal fecal actinomycetes, actinobacteria, and cyanobacteria and discusses synthetic chemical compounds and biogenic nanoparticles.The number of drug-resistant bacteria is increasing, posing a major problem to modern medicine. This book explores an important topic: finding and applying alternative means of pathogenic control and treatment via natural sources. It is an important source of information for microbiologists, biotechnologists, biochemists, pharmacologists, botanists, marine biologists, and others involved in research on natural and synthetic antimicrobial compounds. It is also a useful resource for scholars, scientists, academics, and students in various science disciplines.

Human and Animal Microbiome Engineering provides both basic and detailed information about microbiome engineering for the health enhancement of humans and animal populations. The book provides updated information about current research topics in this emerging field, including microbiome gene therapy, engineered probiotics, and smart living biotic machines for the release of therapeutics. The book is divided into 4 sections covering microbiome engineering application with a focus on future perspectives in human health and enhancement; microbiome engineering in human health and disease including real-world case studies; animal microbiome engineering essentials; and microbiome engineering for livestock improvement.This is the perfect reference for researchers and scientists to further explore the relationship between host and microbiome and discover novel ideas about the concepts of microbiome engineering in the health enhancement of humans and animal populations.

Provides information about the basic and advanced topics of microbiome engineeringOffers a customized combination of microbial engineered based therapies to promote human healthIncludes hot topics like fecal microbiota transplantation for the control of Cl. difficile infection, next generation probiotics, and probiotic engineered microbiomes

Vector-borne diseases have increasingly emerged as significant causes of human illnesses worldwide, largely due to environmental changes (deforestation), population movements (migration and travelling), international trades, and buildup of drug resistance. These are presenting major challenge to the efficacy and use of conventional tools for controlling vector-borne diseases. Therefore, use of microbial approach for the control of vector-borne diseases is gaining importance. This book comprehensively reviews vector-borne diseases and their microbial control, emphasizing majorly on ecofriendly ways of microbial control.
