Evolutionary responses to acquiring a multidrug resistance plasmid are dominated by metabolic functions across diverse Escherichia coli lineages

The study shows that acquiring a multidrug resistance plasmid in Escherichia coli leads to evolutionary responses dominated by metabolic and regulatory mutations across multiple lineages.

The dilution effect limits plasmid horizontal transmission in multispecies bacterial communities

The paper shows that bacterial diversity limits plasmid horizontal transmission through the dilution effect and plasmid-plasmid interactions in multispecies communities.

Limited and strain-specific transcriptional and growth responses to acquisition of a multidrug resistance plasmid in genetically diverse Escherichia coli lineages

The paper examines how diverse E. coli strains respond transcriptionally and in growth to acquiring a multidrug resistance plasmid, finding limited and strain-specific effects.

Positive selection inhibits plasmid coexistence in bacterial genomes

The paper shows that positive selection inhibits plasmid coexistence in bacterial genomes by retaining only the more beneficial plasmid, while compensatory evolution allows stable coinfection without positive selection.
