ColE1-like plasmids are small multicopy plasmids that are highly prevalent in nature. Despite the fitness cost they impose on their host, the coexistence of these replicons is a very common phenomenon. Furthermore, it has been described that this cohabitation can drive antimicrobial multiresistance. As such, understanding the behavior of these coexisting plasmids is of great significance
