Conjugation dynamics depend on both the plasmid acquisition cost and the fitness cost

Plasmid conjugation is a major mechanism responsible for the spread of antibiotic resistance. Plasmid fitness costs are known to impact long‐term growth dynamics of microbial populations by providing plasmid‐carrying cells a relative (dis)advantage compared to plasmid‐free counterparts. Separately,...
