Abstract The antimicrobial effects of nisin (2000 IU/mL) and grape seed extract (GSE, 1%) against Listeria monocytogenes (SSA184, SSA97 and LM10) inoculated on cooked shrimps (Litopenaeus vannamei) were investigated. Notable reductions (1.7–1.9 log CFU/g reduction) of L. monocytogenes were observed after 15-min treatment of combined nisin and GSE while SSA184 showed the highest susceptibility to the activity of nisin and GSE as compared to other strains. The atomic force microscopy results indicated that greater morphological changes were found in combination treated cells of SSA184, whose width (0.47 μm) and height (0.25 μm) were decreased while the surface roughness (10.12 nm) was increased significantly (P
