  Recently, the potential risks of nanomaterials and the spread of antibiotic resistance have become two important environmental concerns. The conjugative transfer of antibiotic resistance genes between bacteria is the most important pathway for the acquisition of antibiotic resistance by bacteria. Both environmental and genetic factors influence the conjugative transfer of antibiotic resistance genes in bacterial populations. The extent to which nanomaterials are able to bring about an increase in antibiotic resistance by regulating the conjugative transfer of antibiotic resistance genes in bacteria is still unknown. In this paper, an Orthogonal Design L64 (421) was used in duplicate to evaluate the effects of bacterial concentration, nano-alumina concentration, mating time, mating temperature and the interactions of those factors on the conjugation transfer in LB broth.
