After bariatric surgery for obesity, connections between the stomach and the ileum can be formed, which may increase bacterial load in the small bowel.

But I've taken on a major bacterial load.

High bacterial loads provide abundant food for trichodininds, which subsequently proliferate on hosts and then cause attachment-related pathologies.

The combination of bacterial load and ability to multiply is the basis for the microbes' ability to cause massive infection.

An organism's bacterial load is an acquired trait.

Chemical antimicrobials may be used by the clinician to help reduce the bacterial load in the diseased pocket.

"Even if the tank is chlorinated, the bacterial load could overwhelm the chlorine," he says.

Antibiotics: An increased bacterial load can bind significant amounts of vitamin B in the gut, preventing its absorption.

Capsaicin reduces the bacterial load when something can not be refrigerated.

The high bacterial load in the mouth means that ulcers may become secondarily infected.
