Bacteria possess extra chromosomal DNA,called plasmids. Often it carries functional genes for the resistance of bacteria (example: Aromotic compound degrading genes).
Plasmid curing is a process of completely removing plasmids of bacteria by means of chemical agents such as Acriflavin or acridine orange!

What is mode of action of acridine orange in plasmid curing?
a protocol for plasmid curing in enteric bacteria using acridine orange
When is a plasmid considered a recombinant plasmid?
When the original function of the gene in the plasmid is altered or another gene is inserted in the non- coding region of the plasmid is called the recombinant plasmid.
Analogy for plasmid?
F-plasmid (fertility plasmid) of any conjugative bateria or Ti-plasmid (tumor-inducing) of Agrobacterium tumaefaciens.
What type of plasmid is the source of the problem with antibiotic resistance?
R plasmid.
What occurs first in the production of a recombinant plasmid?
Isolation of a plasmid from a bacterium
What is plasmid curing?
Plasmid curing is the process of obviating the plasmid encoded functions such as antibiotic resistance, virulence, degradation of aromatic compounds, etc. in bacteria. Several plasmid curing agents have been reported in literature, however, no plasmid curing agent can eliminate all plasmids from different hosts.
