No, not all bacteria undergo conjugation. Conjugation is a specific process that only occurs in bacteria that harbor conjugative plasmids or other elements capable of initiating the transfer of genetic material. Many bacteria, especially those that lack the necessary plasmids or conjugation machinery, cannot perform conjugation and instead reproduce asexually via binary fission.
