Power Point for research paper presentation by Kevin Hugins. Through microbial endocrinology other treatments may be developed. As this paper has discussed, application of these techniques may one day provide a treatment for pathogens other than the traditional antibiotics. It may lead to techniques for dealing with auto-immune diseases. Considering the sheer numbers of microorganisms in our microbiota and all we have yet to learn on the molecular level, this field of research may answer questions we do not even know we have yet.
