This is a very important book by an erudite medical microbiologist, renowned for his work on Campylobacter and Helicobacter. Martin Blaser has been President of the Infectious Disease Society of America and Chair of Medicine at New York University, where he now directs the Human Microbiome Program. It’s important to highlight his blue-chip credentials because his message could be dismissed as utterly cranky. It seems to be being resisted by the medical establishment, but the evidence is accumulating, and the tide is turning and may soon reach rip-tide. It’s a book about the flip-side of the antibiotic miracle.
