Leaven
Jesus use the term leaven[1] several times in reference to the The leaven of the Pharisees. It is clearly another of those metaphors built into the Hebrew language and thinking.
Leaven by its nature is something that even in small a quantity, may influence everything. It could be used as a good influence or in a good sense[2] or a pernicious influence as in a bad sense we see with the leaven of the Pharisees.[3]

That creation of new doctrines with often fictional and private interpretations by the pharisees was part of what Jesus meant when he referred to the need to "Beware of the Leaven of the Pharisees".[3]
