It is the exponential phase.
Many antibiotic such as the Streptogramin family work on the ribosome and indeed the DNA and RNA polymerases. These are most active when the bacteria are dividing and so it causes more harm as it were. Also in Mycobacterium, when dividing it does not have such a thick cell wall, and so it is easier for the antibiotics to penatrate
that is true, also known as the Log phase and is when an organism is most sensative to antibiotics like penicillin-

What types antibotics are Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli suseptible to?
Most strains of Staphylococcus aureus are susceptible to vancomycin and have not yet built up a resistance. Some strains are still susceptible to penicillin and other antibiotics so it really depends on the strain.Most strains of E. coli are susceptible to amoxicillin and many cephalosporins. This also depends on the strain because some are resistant and some are susceptible.
Which biological agent may be susceptible to antibiotic's but can develope resistance?
Bacteria are biological agents that are susceptible to antibiotics but can develop resistance through genetic mutations or acquiring resistance genes from other bacteria. Overuse or misuse of antibiotics can accelerate this process, leading to the development of drug-resistant bacterial strains.
Are bacterial infections more susceptible to drugs than viruses?
Yes, bacterial infections are more susceptible to drugs than viruses because bacteria have a different cell structure and biochemical pathways that can be targeted by antibiotics. However, viruses are not affected by antibiotics because they replicate inside host cells and rely on host cell machinery for their reproduction.
Why do soil microorganisms have antibiotic resistance genes?
To survive, of course! A variety of yeasts and bacteria present in soil secrete antibiotics -- they kill off susceptible species and thereby decrease competition for space and resources. If bacteria want to survive in those areas, they need to be resistant to those antibiotics (and the bacteria that secrete them can't be susceptible to them or it would be suicide!) Because a lot of antibiotics are given to farm animals, those antibiotics make their way into the soil from animal feces. This may promote selection of antibiotic-resistant organisms in the fecally-contaminated soil.
Is the gas phase the most ordered phase?
No, the gas phase is not the most ordered phase. In the gas phase, molecules have high kinetic energy and are not held together in a fixed arrangement, leading to a high degree of disorder and randomness. The solid phase is typically the most ordered phase, with particles arranged in a specific and fixed lattice structure.
What growth phase will gram - positive bacteria be most susceptible to penicillin?
Bacteria are most sensitive to antibiotics during the exponential stage (rapid growth).
Why is it important to know which species of bacteria are susceptible to which antibiotics?
If bacteria are susceptible to antibiotics, exposure to antibiotics will lead to the death or weakening of the bacteria.

What of the three analog-to-analog conversion techniques AM FM or PM is the most susceptible to noise?
AM (amplitude modulation) is the most susceptible to noise among the three analog-to-analog conversion techniques. This is because noise primarily affects the amplitude of the signal, leading to interference and distortions in the received signal. In contrast, FM (frequency modulation) and PM (phase modulation) are less susceptible to noise as they encode information in frequency and phase variations, respectively, which can be more effectively separated from noise during reception.
Will antibiodics ruin antibodies?
No. Antibiotics destroy susceptible bacteria; they don't affect antibodies.
Why antibiotics induce biofilm formation?
Antibiotics trigger a protective response by bacteria to form biofilms. Bacteria within a biofilm are thousands of times less susceptible to antibiotics than planktonic bacteria
What are the most common bactyerial infections of the digestive tract?
The most common bacterial infections of the digestive tract are caused by Shigella, Salmonella, Campylobacter, and Yersinia. Patients taking certain antibiotics may be susceptible to infection with Clostridium difficile
Can AIDS be cured with antibiotics.?
No it can not.
