The high bacterial count was later confirmed to be caused by "a seal excrement overload".

The following changes in the bacterial count after drying the hands were observed:

Research showed that filtering with seed powder may diminish water pollution and bacterial counts.

"It could take some time to get the bacterial counts down to normal limits."

At the time of opening, quality can be guaranteed and bacterial counts are zero.

The license will be revoked immediately if the bacterial count ever exceeds 750,000 per mL.

Reductions in bacterial counts experienced after steam treatment are invariably the result of the cleaning effect.

These may be specified in terms of acceptable bacterial counts.

If it is too dry, bacterial counts can increase as the water becomes stagnant and bacteria accumulates.

If it is too wet, runoff from homes and lawns can drive up bacterial counts.
