a bacterial carrier is usually call this because it carries a significant amount of bacteria. bacteria resides on 99% of everything in this world. something such as a fly, or a rat can at times carry concentrated amounts of harmful bacteria... and sometimes reffered to as bacterial carriers. a person who is sick with some type of bacterial infection could also be considered a bacterial carrier. Although most of the time when someone reffers to something as a bacterial carrier they mean something or someone containing significant amounts of harmful bacteria, it is in my opinion that pretty much anything can carry harmful bacterial at some level; therefore pretty much anything can be a bacterial carrier.

Is bacteria a non infectious disease?
Bacteria are Bacteria. Different kinds of bacteria have different effects and serve different purposes. They way bacteria thrive or hibernate depends on the environment in which they end up. They are hitch hikers. Infectious disease depends on what/whom they are introduced to...you can be delivered bacteria through a carrier yet the carrier is not infected. You can have a bacteria and not have infection. Bio-films, proteins, carbs, sugars, temperatures, fluids and solids all play a significant part in the state of the bacteria. It all depends on what you really want to know. Animals are not effected by many bacteria. Some Humans can also be more immune to bacteria. It's the environment in which the bacteria are deposited in that really determines if you get infected/infection...not the bacteria. So, the best thing to do is keep your body (environment) operating at the best possible performance it can sustain/achieve...through diet, exercise, spiritual enlightenment and love (emotion). Open your mind so the light will shine in and kill the disease...
