The answer is: resistant

Explanation:

  • The term "resistant" is used to describe how many bacterial species have developed the ability to survive and thrive despite the presence of antibiotic drugs. This resistance is a result of natural selection, where bacteria that have mutations allowing them to survive antibiotic treatment reproduce and pass on these traits to their offspring.
  • Other potential words like "susceptible" or "sensitive" would imply that the bacteria are affected by the antibiotics, which is the opposite of what the sentence is conveying.
  • "Resistant" accurately captures the concept of antibiotic resistance, a significant concern in medical and scientific communities.
