Human Microbiota and Nutrition and Health: Proceedings from the 5th International Scientific Conference on Probiotics and Prebiotics

Dear Colleagues,

It is a great pleasure to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue of Nutrients, related to the 5^th International Scientific Conference on Probiotics and Prebiotics.

The conference and the forthcoming papers serve as an international forum for the presentation and discussion of current basic and clinical research in the field of probiotics and prebiotics. The conference theme will be “Probiotics and Prebiotics in Health Promotion”, with broad and deep discussions on various topics, including international expert consensus, regulations and standards on probiotics, prebiotics, and even post probiotics; the role of probiotics, prebiotics, and post-probiotics on health; as well as interactions between nutrients and gut microbiota. Research on gut microbiota composition and function, applications, and functional evaluation will also be considered.

We are very honored to have experts around the world to share the updated information on this topic. All kinds of manuscripts, including commentaries, opinions, reviews, and research papers, are welcome to submit to the organizing committee via email (cpph@cnsoc.org). After initial evaluation, the committee will recommend you submit to the journal Nutrients if the paper meets the requirements of the journal. The paper will be accepted for publication if it passes the review process. Accepted papers will receive 20% discount of the publication fee.
