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-

∙ 14y agoBacteria is most susceptible to antibiotics in the log phase, or vegetative state. During this state they are feeding, growing, and reproducing. It is during this phase of growth that antibiotics will interfere with reproduction or environment making it unsuitable for bacterial survival.

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.
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.
What parts of plants are most commonly susceptible to parasitic roundworms?
The root of the plant is most susceptible to parasitic roundworms. They destroy plant roots, causing the entire plant to die.
Is the gas phase the most ordered phase?
No. The particles of substances in the solid state/phase are the most ordered. The particles of substances in the gas state/phase have the least order.
What phase is most of Earth's water found in?
Most of Earth's water is found in the liquid phase.
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 biological agent may be susceptible to antibiotics and can develop resistance?
Bacteria
Which biological agent may susceptible to antibiotics but can develop resistance?
bacteria
Which Biological agent susceptible to antibiotics but can develop resistance to them?
B- Bacteria
Which biological agent is susceptible t o antibiotics but can develope resistance?
bacteria
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
What liquids are most susceptible to bacterial growth?
There are quite a few liquids that are susceptible to bacterial growth. Water and sugary warm liquids are the most susceptible.
What is the treatment for bartonellosis?
Antibiotics are the mainstay of bartonellosis treatment. The bacteria are susceptible to several antibiotics, including chloramphenicol, penicillins, and aminoglycosides. Blood transfusions may be necessary to treat the anemia caused by bartonellosis.
