Résumé

The Human Body - a master of adaptation- has learnt how to exploit to its own advantage the many and various species which compose the gut microflora and which mediate multiple physiological roles: fermentation, immunoregulatory activity, effects on intestinal motility, vascularisation and trophicity, dans defences against infectious agents.

The relationship between host and microflora that defines the "intestinal ecosystem". However, balance in this ecosystem is fragile and its perturbation is involved in the pathogenesis of diverse digestive conditions.

In recent years, the importance of the microflora has inspired a great deal of research based on the tools of modern molecular biology and medicine.

The purpose of this profoundly mutlidiscilplinary volume is to provide a comprehensive, up-to-date review of what is known about the gut microflora and its impact on digestive physiology and pathology for physicians, pharmacists, veterinarians, researchs and students interested in this fascinating subject.
