Highly efficient gene transfer in the mouse gut microbiota is enabled by the Incl(2) conjugative plasmid TP114

The gut microbiota is a suspected hotspot for bacterial conjugation due to its high density and diversity of microorganisms. However, the contribution of different conjugative plasmid families to horizontal gene transfer in this environment remains poorly characterized. Here, we systematically quant...
