Microbial communities are composed of various bacterial species capable of exchanging genetic information through horizontal gene transfer mechanisms. Among these, bacterial conjugation allows the transfer of large DNA fragments, mostly plasmids, between a donor and a recipient bacterium in direct contact. The acquisition of the plasmid and the expression of the genes carried by it change the recipient into a transconjugant. The product of the genes can confer a symbiotic lifestyle, virulence factors or resistance to heavy metals and antibiotics. It is estimated that conjugation is responsible for 80% of the acquisition of antibiotic resistance in bacteria which is a major public health problem worldwide. In this context, two major objectiv...
