Variability of plasmid fitness effects contributes to plasmid persistence in bacterial communities
The variability of plasmid fitness effects on wild-type bacterial hosts have been largely unknown until this study, which shows that plasmid persistence increases with bacterial diversity and becomes less dependent on conjugation. This could explain why plasmids remain so common in nature.
