Analysis of the replication efficiency of different CTXΦ in the presence and absence of RecA function. The bars represent numbers of CFUs carrying replicative module of CTXΦ. Replicative modules were transferred to the host bacteria by 3 h conjugation. Transconjugants were selected based on the antibiotic-resistance phenotypes. Two-way RM-ANOVA was used to infer statistical significance of the differences of CFU numbers. Error bars indicate SDs. Wt, wild type; ET, El Tor (A); Cl, classical (B); Env, environmental (C); TCR, TLC-CTX-RS1 prophage. * = CTXΦETCam.
