Interspecific competition can drive the loss of conjugative plasmids from a focal species in a microbial community

2022-06-06

Abstract excerpt

Plasmids are key disseminators of antimicrobial resistance genes and virulence factors, and it is therefore critical to predict and reduce plasmid spread within microbial communities. The cost of plasmid carriage is a key metric that can be used to predict plasmids’ ecological fate, and it is unclear whether plasmid costs are affected by growth partners in a microbial community. We carried out competition experime...
