FIG 1.

Relative growth rates of E. coli MG1655 transconjugants with different clinical plasmids. The value for the parental strain (containing no plasmid) is set to 1, and all growth rates of the plasmid-carrying strains are relative to that. Gray indicates strains carrying IncI plasmids, and black indicates IncF plasmids. Error bars denote standard deviations from 4 biological and 2 technical replicates. Statistical analysis was performed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) adjusted using Dunnett’s test (*, adjusted P value of <0.05; **, adjusted P value of <0.01).
