Figure 1.

Conjugation rates of pOXA-48 plasmid to six uropathogenic E. coli recipient strains (A–F) in the absence (control) and presence of one additional UTI community member (E. faecium, E. faecalis, S. simulans, P. aeruginosa, and P. mirabilis). Small dots indicate individual replicate measurements (n = 3), large dots replicate means. Community members with a significant impact on conjugation rates relative to the basal conjugation rate (control, dotted line) are indicated by solid circles (ANOVA, Dunnett’s test, P < .05).
