The distribution of plasmid fitness effects explains plasmid persistence in bacterial communities

2020-08-02

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introductory paragraph</h4> Plasmid persistence in bacterial populations is strongly influenced by the fitness effects associated with plasmid carriage. However, plasmid fitness effects in wild-type bacterial hosts remain largely unexplored. In this study, we determined the distribution of fitness effects (DFE) for the major antibiotic resistance plasmid pOXA-48 in wild-type, ecologically compatible enterobac...
