This ground-breaking CPE program explores how the human microbiome is under assault from an overreliance on medical advances, including antibiotics and caesarian sections, which threatens the symbiotic relationship of bacterial and human cells, and may lead to severe health consequences. Upon completion of this CPE program you will be better able to:
- Discuss changes in disease patterns related to immune dysfunction
- Explain how bacteria can be beneficial to the environment and the human body
- Contrast the ways antibiotics work
- Describe how resistant bacteria develop
- Differentiate the positive and negative roles a particular bacteria may have in the body

CUSTOMER COMMENTS
Kathy Puckett: "Interesting topic. I agree with overuse of antibiotics promoting problems, but I didn't realize how much it is changing human microbiome."
Jennifer Fielden: "I appreciated how the author included helpful information over various strains of bacteria. Plus, I love how the author backed up his claims with scientific studies. This book was very enlightening and a great read!"
Julie Cottrell: "Content is great. I prefer to read at my own pace in the comfort of my home."
OVERVIEW AND INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the pre-approved, accredited CPE program for Missing Microbes. The program consists of a book of the same title by Martin J. Blaser, MD and this study guide. The CPE program is designed to help you evaluate the changes in disease patterns that may be related to excessive antibiotic use and related changes in the human microbiome. You will also learn about interventions to avoid antibiotic overuse and promote a healthy microbiome. It is also designed to help you earn 22 Level 2, Continuing Professional Education Units (CPEUs).
To get the most out of this CPE program, it is suggested that you adhere to the following four steps:
- Review the objectives in this study guide.
- Read and study the book.
- Assess what you have learned by answering the self-assessment questions in this study guide.
- Compare your answers to the answer key, which you will find at the end of the study guide. If you scored at least 80% (40 questions) correct, you have completed the program and are ready to transfer your answers to the CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION REPORTING FORM in front of this study guide. If you scored less than 80% correct, re-read the appropriate sections of the book and until you score at least 80% correct.
