Explanation
The bacteria that survive antibiotics would presumably be those hardest to kill. You might also want a word that means something like “drug-resistant.” The only word that means anything like “hard-to-kill” is robust.

Robust in the context of "bacteria" doesn't seem to fit. I would like to know what notorious is not being used here in this context. Notorious bacteria, seems more fitting.
