内容摘要 "在《消失的微生物》中,马丁·布莱泽敲响了警报。他耐心而彻底地建立了一个令人信服的案例,即抗生素过度使用的威胁远远超出了抗性感染。 著名微生物学家Martin J. Blaser博士邀请我们进入人类微生物组的荒野,数十万年来,细菌和人体细胞在这里和平共处,负责我们身体的平衡和健康。现在,由于我们过度依赖包括抗生素和剖腹产在内的医学进步,这个无形的伊甸园正受到攻击,威胁着我们不可替代的微生物的灭绝,导致严重的健康后果。 布莱泽带我们进入实验室,讲述他的突破性研究,他不仅为他的理论提供了优雅的支持,还指导我们如何做才能避免未来出现更多灾难性的健康问题。 "《消失的微生物》是极好的科学著作--论点鲜明,文笔优美,对人类微生物组有着惊人的洞察力,对紧迫的全球危机有着可行的解决方案。一个美国人的故事 "In Missing Microbes, Martin Blaser sounds [an] alarm. He patiently and thoroughly builds a compelling case that the threat of antibiotic overuse goes far beyond resistant infections."--Nature Renowned microbiologist Dr. Martin J. Blaser invites us into the wilds of the human microbiome, where for hundreds of thousands of years bacterial and human cells have existed in a peaceful symbiosis that is responsible for the equilibrium and health of our bodies. Now this invisible Eden is under assault from our overreliance on medical advances including antibiotics and caesarian sections, threatening the extinction of our irreplaceable microbes and leading to severe health consequences. Taking us into the lab to recount his groundbreaking studies, Blaser not only provides elegant support for his theory, he guides us to what we can do to avoid even more catastrophic health problems in the future. "Missing Microbes is science writing at its very best--crisply argued and beautifully written, with stunning insights about the human microbiome and workable solutions to an urgent global crisis."--David M. Oshinsky, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Polio: An American Story
