@ NEHA 
bacteria have very simple thing that is their cell donot have division of labour . 
unlike a higher organism , where vtissue level organisation is required , 
bacterial cells are free of any such requirment . 
they divide by binary fission and thats the fastest one . 
their dna is not bound inside a nucleaus , which allow simoultaneous transcription and translation . 
also the lack of nucleaus speeds the dna replication rate .

They are simple orgamisms with cellular level of organisation.
Some of them are autotrophic while most of them are hetrotrophic and also they require very less food. 
This is why they replicate at a faster rate.
 
Hope you understand my answer.
