Help answer this question below.
Bacteria are very small. I've seen them under a microscope. They are usually between 2-7 micrometers long.
Between (1.3µm X 0.5 µm and 1.0 X 0.22 µm ) Bacterium size
As for colonies they are random as can you see ..

Do I need a microscope to see living bacteria? I need to see the effects of antibiotics on bacteria, but can I see it without a microscope?

What 7 micrometers ! I think your wrong !
Most bacteria between 4 and 0.4 µm very few bacteria are bigger that that !
The biggest bacteria is Epulopiscium fishelsoni it's more than 0.7 mm
