Abstract

pRKZ3 is a non-conjugative IncQ plasmid, while pKANJ7 is a conjugative IncX plasmid.

The optimal mating time of pKANJ7 varied under different conditions.

Both of the two transferable ARPs had little impact on the growth of their hosts.

A relatively high level of fitness cost was observed for pKANJ7.

The fitness cost of ARPs depended on their hosts.
