The Role of Clonal Interference in the Evolutionary Dynamics of Plasmid-Host Adaptation

Promiscuous plasmids replicate in a wide range of bacteria and therefore play a key role in the dissemination of various host-beneficial traits, including antibiotic resistance. Despite the medical relevance, little is known about the evolutionary dynamics through which drug resistance plasmids adap...
