Dilushi Sureka Ruwan Kumari
Dilushi is exploring the effect of two antimicrobials, lysozyme and nisin, on the control of biofilms of Listeria monocytogenes. Her initial studies are exploring the effect of nutrient concentration on the activity of these two antimicrobials which is likely to have an important contribution to the efficacy in a biofilm environment. Preconditioning to different nutrient concentrations appears to have a major effect on antimicrobial activity.
