There are hundreds, thousands of different kinds of bacteria (leaving asideotherkindsofmicrobes:archaea,viruses,fungi,andprotists),livinginevery possibleenvironmentincluding deepseabed, high intheclouds,and intheboiling hotsprings.Multicellularorganismscreatedanentirelynewsetofhabitats,inandon allthoseanimalsandplants. Researchdatasuggestedthatduringthelasttwodecades,extensiveresearchhas been carried out on endophytic fungi and several biologically active compounds havebeenisolatedfromendophyticfungi.Thisbookmakesallthereadersgenerally conversant in the language of microbiomes and metagenomics. It also provides excellent examples of how microbial communities affect health and cure diseases and dole out typical practical examples of how medical interventions interact with themicrobiomeandchangeoutcomes. UnderstandingtheHost–MicrobiomeInteractionsinHumanHealth.Thevolume published by the Springer Nature Biomedicine is an important volume, and I stronglybelievethatitwillattractreadersworkinginthefield.Thepresentvolume has 14 chapters contributed by diversified academicians and scientists working on microbiome research throughout the world. I must congratulate the editor of this book for bringing out this volume with excellent contributions from the most talentedscientistsworkingonmicrobiomeresearchandtheirapplicationsinunder- standingthehostmicrobiomeinteractionsinhumanhealth.

Yetthepracticaltranslationalapplicationsofthisfascinatingandenthrallingarea of science are outstanding. The book also discusses that research on microbiomes provides a more comprehensive view of the genetics of humans and other species, andhowitcanincludeinnovativehumanhealthtreatmentsandnewtechniques.For thebeginnerandmicrobiomeenthusiasts,thisbookmaybeanessentialreadingofits importance with existing applications in medicine, agriculture, and climate. With vii viii Preface these aims in mind, the material of this textbook has been structured from basic to more advanced topics in a sequential progression. Finally, this book also reviews advancement from fundamental research to relationships between immune– microbiomesandhumanhealthmicrobiomes:clinicalapplications. Wehopethatyourcreativityisinspiredbythisbookandwishyouluckinyour experiments.Thisbookillustratesastonishinglytheurgencywithwhichthenumer- ous scientific brains are committed to the welfare of the scientific world.

Becauseoftheheartfeltinterestandpainstakingeffortofmanyotherwell-wishers whose names are not listed, but they are already in our hearts, we have effectively compiled our innovative and reflective research work. So, the reward for their sacrifices is definitely worth it. I want this book to be devoted to my mum, S. Jayaprada (late).

The microbiome has also become a burgeoning field of research in medicine,agricultureandenvironment.Thereaderswillobtainprofoundknowledge on the connection between intestinal microbiota and immune defense systems, medicine,agricultureandenvironment.Thebookisaddressedtoseveralresearchers, clinicians, and scholars working in biomedicine, microbiology, and immunology. The application of new technologies has no doubt revolutionized the research initiatives providing new insights into the dynamics of these complex microbial communitiesandtheirroleinmedicine,agricultureandenvironmentshallbemore emphasized. Drawing on broad range concepts of disciplines and model systems, this book primarily provides a conceptual framework for understanding these human–microbe, animal–microbe, and plant–microbe interactions while shedding critical light on the scientific challenges that lie ahead. Furthermore, this book explains why microbiome research demands a creative and interdisciplinary think- ing—thecapacitytocombinemicrobiologywithhuman,animal,andplantphysiol- ogy, ecological theory with immunology, and evolutionary perspectives with metabolicscience. This book provides an accessible and authoritative guide to the fundamental principles of microbiome science, an exciting and fast-emerging new discipline that is reshaping many aspects of the life sciences. These microbial partners can also drive ecologically important traits, from thermal tolerance to diet in a typical immunesystem,andhavecontributedtoanimalandplantdiversificationoverlong evolutionarytimescales.Also,thisbookexplainswhymicrobiomeresearchpresents amorecompletepictureofthebiologyofhumansandotheranimals,andhowitcan delivernoveltherapiesforhumanhealthandnewstrategies. xi Contents PartI IntroductiontoMicrobiomes 1 MicrobiomesandItsSignificancewiththeCurrentApplications inHumanHealthandDisease:GoalsandChallenges ofMicrobiomeResearchToday. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 PallavalVeeraBramhachari PartII MicrobiomeforHumanHealth:FromBasicScience toImmune-MicrobiomeInteractions 2 ModulationofSystemicImmuneResponsesThroughGenital, Skin,andoralMicrobiota:UnveilingtheFundamentals ofHumanMicrobiomes. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 13 PavaniSanapalaandSudhakarPola 3 ASystematicReviewonCrosstalkBetweenMicrobiomeand ImmuneSystem. . . . . . . .. . . . . . .. . . . . . . .. . . . . . . .. . . . . . . .. 35 Y.Aparna,K.Anuradha,S.Anju,andJ.Sarada 4 DiversityandDynamicsoftheGutMicrobiomeandImmune Cells. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 53 PrernaPathak 5 OverviewonHumanGutMicrobiomeanditsRolein Immunomodulation. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 69 SudhakarPolaandDhanaLakshmiPadi 6 CancerMicrobiomeandImmunotherapy:Understandingthe ComplexResponsesBetweenMicrobes,Immunity,andCancer. . . 83 KishoreKumarGodisela,BadithalaSivaSaiKiran,andPallaval VeeraBramhachari 7 DynamicsofRespiratoryMicrobiomeProfilesContributesto ImbalanceandLungDysbiosisintheRespiratoryTract. . . . . . . . . 101 HarishBabuKolla,PrakashNarayanaReddy, andPallavalVeeraBramhachari xxiiiiii
