Multi-host environments select for host-generalist conjugative plasmids

BACKGROUND: Conjugative plasmids play an important role in bacterial evolution by transferring ecologically important genes within and between species. A key limit on interspecific horizontal gene transfer is plasmid host range. Here, we experimentally test the effect of single and multi-host enviro...
