Frequent conjugative transfer accelerates adaptation of a broad-host-range plasmid to an unfavorable Pseudomonas putida host
IncP-1 plasmids are known to be promiscuous, but it is not understood if they are equally
well adapted to various species within their host range. Moreover, little is known about their …

Spatial structure and nutrients promote invasion of IncP-1 plasmids in bacterial populations
In spite of the importance of plasmids in bacterial adaptation, we have a poor understanding
of their dynamics. It is not known if or how plasmids persist in and spread through (invade) a …

Plasmids persist in a microbial community by providing fitness benefit to multiple phylotypes
The current epidemic of antibiotic resistance has been facilitated by the wide and rapid
horizontal dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in microbial communities …
