The F plasmid belongs to F-like plasmids, a class of conjugative plasmids that control sexual functions of bacteria with a fertility inhibition (Fin) system.

The F-plasmid is a member of a group of conjugative plasmids that use the fertility inhibition (Fin) system to regulate bacterial sexual behaviour.

Esther Lederberg coined the term “Fertility” factor F to describe the plasmid donated by the male or F+ cell to the female or F− cell.
