Positive Selection Inhibits Plasmid Coexistence in Bacterial Genomes
Bacterial genomes often contain multiple coexisting plasmids that provide important functions like antibiotic resistance. Using lab experiments, we show that such plasmid coexistence within a genome is stable only in environments where the function they encode is useless but is unstable if the func...
