Sulfonamides interfere with  folic acid synthesis in bacteria.

Explanation:

Sulfanilamide and other Sulfonamides are capable of inhibiting a variety of bacteria, interfering with a particular biochemical reaction (synthesis of the folic acid) which is essential for their survival. Sulfonamides are primarily used to treat urinary infections and for the treatment of otitis, bronchitis, sinusitis, and Pneumocystis pneumonia; It is used in combination with trimethoprim. Sulfonamides derivatives exert a wide range of antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

emerging idea only occurs as a raw idea that could appear out of nowhere. meanwhile, to reach scientific consensus , that idea must be structured and tested over and over again through various experiments. the scientific consensus transforms the raw idea into idea that is more reliable through the process of scientific elimination.
