Publications
Weak-acid preservatives: modelling microbial inhibition and responseR J Lambert
Microbiology Section, Unilever Research, Sharnbrook, Bedford, UK
J Appl Microbiol 86:157-64. 1999....
An investigation into the differences between the Bioscreen and the traditional plate count disinfectant test methodsR J Lambert
Unilever Research, Colworth, Bedfordshire, UK
J Appl Microbiol 86:689-94. 1999..A mathematical model of injury was developed which predicted the observed differences between the Bioscreen and the traditional plate method. The model further suggested a possible reason for biocidal lags...
Susceptibility testing: accurate and reproducible minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and non-inhibitory concentration (NIC) valuesR J Lambert
Unilever Research Colworth, Sharnbrook, UK
J Appl Microbiol 88:784-90. 2000..Above a threshold value, which has been termed the non-inhibitory concentration or NIC, growth becomes limiting until it reaches the MIC, where no growth relative to the control is observed...
Disinfection kinetics: a new hypothesis and model for the tailing of log-survivor/time curvesR J Lambert
Unilever Research Colworth, Sharnbrook, UK
J Appl Microbiol 88:907-13. 2000..The model suggested that the reason for the observation of non-linear, log-survivor curves was due to the ability of the microbes, in clean, soil-free conditions, to intrinsically quench the bulk concentration of biocide...
Susceptibility testing: inoculum size dependency of inhibition using the Colworth MIC techniqueR J Lambert
Unilever Research, Colworth, UK
J Appl Microbiol 89:275-9. 2000..The inoculum size dependencies of phenethyl alcohol, phenoxyethanol, p-chloro-m-cresol, trichloro-phenol, thymol and dodecyltrimethylammmonium bromide against Staphylococcus aureus were obtained...
Advances in disinfection testing and modellingR J Lambert
Unilever Research Colworth, Sharnbrook, UK
J Appl Microbiol 91:351-63. 2001..To develop a set of kinetic equations which more ably describe the disinfection process...
The effect of interfering substances on the disinfection process: a mathematical modelR J Lambert
Unilever Research Colworth, Sharnbrook, Bedfordshire, UK
J Appl Microbiol 91:548-55. 2001..To gain a greater understanding of the effect of interfering substances on the efficacy of disinfection...
The relationships and susceptibilities of some industrial, laboratory and clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to some antibiotics and biocidesR J Lambert
Unilever Research Colworth, Sharnbrook, Bedfordshire, UK
J Appl Microbiol 91:972-84. 2001..To provide evidence to support or refute the hypothesis that cross-resistance between antibiotics and biocides can occur...
A study of the minimum inhibitory concentration and mode of action of oregano essential oil, thymol and carvacrolR J Lambert
Unilever Research Colworth, SEAC-Microbiology, Sharnbrook, Bedfordshire, UK
J Appl Microbiol 91:453-62. 2001....
