The phrase "a cause of bacterial" is not correct as it is incomplete and lacks context.
It could be used in a sentence discussing factors that lead to bacterial growth or infection, but it needs to be followed by a noun to clarify what it is a cause of.
Example: "Poor hygiene is a cause of bacterial infections in hospitals."
Alternatives: "a factor contributing to bacterial" or "a reason for bacterial".
