520    Public sanitation and antibiotic drugs have brought about 
       historic increases in the human life span; they have also 
       unintentionally produced new health crises by disrupting 
       the intimate, age-old balance between humans and the 
       microorganisms that inhabit our bodies and our 
       environment. As a result, antibiotic resistance now ranks 
       among the gravest medical problems of modern times. [This 
       book] addresses not only this issue but also what has 
       become known as the "hygiene hypothesis"--An argument that
       links the over-sanitation of modern life to now-epidemic 
       increases in immune and other disorders. In telling the 
       story of what went terribly wrong in our war on germs, 
       [the author] explores our emerging understanding of the 
       symbiotic relationship between the human body and its 
       resident microbes -- which outnumber its human cells by a 
       factor of nine to one! The book also offers a ... look 
       into a future in which antibiotics will be designed and 
       used more wisely, and beyond that, to a day when we may 
       replace antibacterial drugs and cleansers with bacterial 
       ones -- each custom-designed for maximum health benefits.-
