The dilution effect limits plasmid horizontal transmission in multispecies bacterial communities

A. Kottara, L. Carrilero, E. Harrison, J. P. J. Hall, M. Brockhurst

The paper shows that bacterial diversity limits plasmid horizontal transmission through the dilution effect and plasmid-plasmid interactions in multispecies communities.

Positive selection inhibits plasmid coexistence in bacterial genomes

L. Carrilero, A. Kottara, D. Guymer, E. Harrison, J. Hall, M. Brockhurst

The paper shows that positive selection inhibits plasmid coexistence in bacterial genomes by retaining only the more beneficial plasmid, while compensatory evolution allows stable coinfection without positive selection.
