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!

Curing of a plasmid refers to the loss of the plasmid from a bacterial cell. This can happen through the natural loss of the plasmid during cell division or through the use of specific treatments like chemicals or heat. Curing can be a useful tool in research to study the effects of plasmid presence or absence on bacterial traits.

Curing a bacteria of plasmid DNA means getting rid of the plasmid so that the cells no longer have it.
