Encounter rates and engagement times limit the transmission of conjugative plasmids.

Plasmid conjugation is a major route for the dissemination of antibiotic resistances and adaptive genes among bacterial populations. Obtaining precise conjugation rates is thus key to understanding how antibiotic resistances spread. Plasmid conjugation is typically modeled as a density-dependent pro...
