The phrase "a significant colonisation" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the impact or importance of a colonization event or process in a historical, social, or ecological context.
Example: "The arrival of European settlers led to a significant colonisation of the indigenous lands, altering the cultural landscape forever."
Alternatives: "a major colonization" or "an important colonization".
However, there is a significant bacterial colonisation rate of the arterial lines sampled.
This study has examined cells from naturally-occurring murine mammary tumours to ascertain whether cell surface glycoproteins play a significant role in colonisation of the lungs after intravenous inoculation.
The indication was that Biomass measures had a significant negative response, while Colonisation measures had a positive effect size.
Our data demonstrated a significant association between candida colonisation and development of ICI, when compared to patients without ICI (88.9% versus 44.6% P = 0.006).
Bacterial motility plays a significant role in the colonisation of environmental surfaces and cells [ 21], which in turn has been correlated in vitro with the capacity to form biofilms on hydrophobic surfaces [ 23].
When other factors were controlled for (age, sex, hospital admissions, invasive devices), however, a significant increase in MRSA colonisation across the four surveys was identified (OR=1.08, p=0.031, logistic regression).
Our results indicate that use of dedicated CVC packs was associated with a significant reduction in the colonisation rate of CVCs, despite lines being left in situ for longer periods and the more frequent use of quinlumen catheters in the intervention group.
A conversion of surface exposed GD1a to GM1a on membranes of metastatic cells by in situ treatment with Vibrio cholerae sialidase is associated with a significant reduction of tumour cell colonisation directed to the murine lungs.
Similarly, there was a significant positive correlation between increasing NP colonisation density among those colonised with Pneumococcus and increasing proadrenomedullin values in cases with CAP (r=0.34, p<0.0001) and in cases with SP-CAP (r=0.40, p=0.008; figure 2B).
In a recent review of the literature, we found that the intestinal bacterial colonisation in preterm infants is much more diverse than in term infants and that antibiotics cause a significant delay in the intestinal bacterial colonisation [ 2].
