In situ monitoring of IncF plasmid transfer on semi-solid agar surfaces reveals a limited invasion of plasmids in recipient colonies

Most natural conjugative IncF plasmids encode a fertility inhibition system that represses transfer gene expression in the majority of plasmid-carrying cells. The successful spread of these plasmids in clinically relevant bacteria has been suggested to be supported by a transitory derepression of tr...
