Table 3. Dynamics of change in the proportion of different plasmids in multi-plasmid infected cell.
| Plasmid type | Cell growth | Replication of plasmid within host | Addition due to conjugal transfer of the plasmid | Plasmid lost by curing |
| plc | plc xm | plc xm glc | plc xm (xln + xhc + xhn)(βl plc + βh phc) + βl plc (xln + xhc + xhn) + βh xlc xhc | −ε xm plc |
| pln | pln xm | pln xm gln | pln xm (xlc + xhc + xhn)(βl plc + βh phc) + xln (xlc + xhc + xm (1−pln))(βl plc + βh phc) | −ε xm pln |
| phc | phc xm | phc xm ghc | phc xm (xlc + xln + xhn)(βl plc + βh phc) + βh phc (xlc + xln + xhn) + βl xlc xhc | −ε xm phc |
| phn | phn xm | phn xm ghn | phn xm (xlc + xln + xhc)(βl plc + βh phc) + xhn (xlc + xhc + xm (1−phn))(βl plc + βh phc) | −ε xm phn |
