Further his book explores the potential of probiotics (live microorganisms that when ingested bring a health benefit) in treating enteric disorders by analysing the probiotic genome through proteomics, metabolomics and functional assays.

Finally this book addresses how genetic engineering and biotechnology will contribute to the development of effective and safe designer probiotics.
