Organisation profile
Research within this centre focuses on two main areas. Firstly, the isolation and characterisation of probiotic microorganisms and the determination of their therapeutic impacts on human health. Second, the evaluation, development and screening of disinfectants, biocidal products and antimicrobial agents aimed at the healthcare sector. Specific areas of interest include:
- Isolation and characterisation of microbial polysaccharides
- Cellular impact of probiotics
- Probiotic food and drink
- Probiotic microbiology
- Infection control and disinfection
