Below is a graph of an infection with 1,000,000 bacteria. The patient was given multiple doses of an antibiotic to kill the bacteria. Each dose was 99.9% effective and doses were given every 4 hours for 24 hours. Between each dose, the remaining bacteria divided every 20 minutes.

Refer to the graph above. What type of growth does the bacteria display after each antibiotic dose is given?

• exponential growth

• logistical growth

• linear growth

• spiritual growth
