Fig. 3: Final transconjugant frequency depends on donor, recipient, and plasmid (2nd generation in vitro experiment).
From: Plasmid- and strain-specific factors drive variation in ESBL-plasmid spread in vitro and in vivo
Eight transconjugants isolated from mating assays in the 1st generation in vitro experiment (Fig. 2), used here as plasmid donor strains, transferred their plasmid to three different recipients. Circles represent independent replicates (n = 6), the beams are mean values ± SEM and different plasmids are indicated in colour. The detection limit was at ~10−8. Total population densities can be found in Supplementary Fig. S13. Donor RE2 carrying plasmid p1B_IncI was excluded, see ‘Methods'.
