A plasmid is a small, circular, double-stranded DNA molecule that is distinct from a cell's chromosomal DNA. Plasmids naturally exist in bacterial cells, and they also occur in some eukaryotes.

into dangerous bacteria such as Shigella dysenteriae, in a blink. The word “episome” would later be replaced by a synonym, “plasmid.” Scientists now recognize plasmids as a major mechanism ...

This discovery led the team to test commonly available substances, such as zinc supplements. The researchers then tested various products on bacterial strains, observing a marked reduction in plasmid ...
