Figure 2.

Relative differences in conjugation rates of pOXA-48 plasmid into two E. coli recipient strains (B and F) in the absence (Control) and presence of spent media containing exudates from another UTI community member (E. faecium and E. faecalis). Small dots indicate individual replicate measurements, large dots replicate means. One replicate measurement (E. coli F with E. faecalis) was below the detection limit and was set to 1e-14 for the analysis. Community members with a significant impact on conjugation rates (solid circles) relative to the control conjugation rate (dotted line) are indicated by solid circles (ANOVA, Dunnett’s test, P < .05).
