The phrase "a shared bacterial" is not correct in written English as it is incomplete and lacks context.
It could be used in a context discussing shared bacterial characteristics or properties, but it needs to be part of a complete thought.
Example: "The study focused on a shared bacterial community found in the soil samples."
Alternatives: "a common bacterial" or "a mutual bacterial".
Individuals living together share a significant proportion of their CRISPR spacers when compared to control individuals from different living environments, which likely reflects a combination of shared viral exposures and shared bacterial biota within a household [ 29].
Miller, S. R., Strong, A. L., Jones, K. L. & Ungerer, M. C. Bar-coded pyrosequencing reveals shared bacterial community properties along the temperature gradients of two alkaline hot springs in Yellowstone National Park.
The unique and shared bacterial genera (with the percentage of >1% colonized in segment) at the genus level in the sheep GIT (b).
We detected unique and shared bacterial genera along the GIT from sheep at the genus level by using our sequencing data.
A total of 27 genera were observed, and only 25.93% of them belonged to the shared bacterial genera, including three genera (Prevotella, Bacteroides, and Parabacteroides) from Bacteroidetes, two genera (Ruminococcus and Oscillospira) from Firmicutes, one genus (Treponema) from Spirochaetes, and one genus (Desulfovibrio) from Proteobacteria.
The cultures were observed to share bacterial diversity with other algal cultures, most notably, dinoflagellates.
Comparing oral bacteria between individuals showed that bacterial populations in saliva were less complex than those in the gut, and that twins who cohabitated were more likely to share bacterial communities while living together than after moving apart.
A baseline assessment of 13 laboratories (in the central, eastern, western regions) was conducted in November 1998 using a pre-defined (location, infrastructure, human resource, instrumentation, shipping of bacterial isolates and willingness to share bacterial isolates and data) assessment tool and nine laboratories were selected to implement the programme.

In addition to studying vaginal pH, we anticipate that by using high-throughput sequencing of a shared region of bacterial ribosomes (16S ribosomal RNA) [ 30], we can more precisely define altered vaginal ecosystems and explore the associations of the cervical microbiome as a modifier of HPV natural history in the development of cervical precancer and cancer.
