You treat the following five cultures of bacteria with penicillin: Bacillus subtilis, E. coli, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycoplasma genitalium, and Staphylococcus aureus. Assume all are “wild type” and have not acquired specific resistance to penicillin (i.e., resistance has not been selected for in any of these strains). Which of these is most likely to survive your treatment with the least harm, i.e., is the most intrinsically resistant to this treatment of penicillin?
