{"product_id":"microbial-inhabitants-of-humans-michael-wilson-9780521841580","title":"Microbial Inhabitants of Humans","description":"Microbial communities (normal indigenous microbiota) inhabit those regions of the human body that are exposed to the external environment, including the skin, eyes, oral cavity and the respiratory, urinary, reproductive and gastrointestinal tracts. Consequently, the key anatomical and physiological characteristics of each body site are described throughout this book to reveal why particular organisms are able to colonize an anatomical region. The crucial roles of the indigenous microbiota in protecting against exogenous pathogens, regulating the development of our immune system and mucosae, and providing nutrients are also discussed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Wilson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521841585\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521841580\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/08\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 476\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.32h x 7.22w x 1.24d","brand":"Michael Wilson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065007157503,"sku":"9780521841580","price":191.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_40727368-aec2-4d23-bf9b-23fb310055ea.jpg?v=1768672517","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/microbial-inhabitants-of-humans-michael-wilson-9780521841580","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
