PREFACE
For many of us, the word “microbe” still conjures a negative image, one of sickness, infection, or contamination. In general, we do not wonder “Where does this microbe come from?” except in case of an epidemic. We simply observe that its presence is inopportune and is dismantling a preestablished order, an equilibrium: this well-being that is named “health.”
We now know, however, that good health depends on the presence of millions of beneficial microbes
