The cure of The Plague was that it had killed so many people and wiped so many generations out that the population was gone so you didn't have very many people coming into contact with each other and sharing the same space among each other. People were staying home more and not participating among large groups of people this is one reason the plague was down. Another reason the plague came to an end was the trade and import and exports weren't so heavy to the cities. Foreigners weren't visiting and traveling much. People were watching who they came into contact with. They were more aware of their surroundings if they did have to go out. They tried to stay more in a sanitized environment.
The "plague" I believe you are referring to is the caused by a bacteria called yersenis pestis and is transmitted by rat fleas. While this infection was responsible for what we now call the "Black Plague", it is now easily treated with simple, cheap antibiotics. The first line treatment is Gentamicin 2.0 mg/kg IV loading dose, then 1.7mg/kg every 8 hours by IV. Alternatively, an oral treatment consist of Doxycycline 100mg twice a day. The length of treatment has some variables and is determined by the treating physician. Hope this helps. JT Johnson, MD, MSEd
Antibiotics cures it.

There was only a cure available for the bubonic plague, (one of the plgaues of the two plagues of the black death), the main cure which in some cases worked was to pop the boils which were side affects of the plague and letting the puss out would somehow eliminate the plague from the body.
There was no cure for plague, although a lot of people did some incredibly stupid things in the hopes that it would be. This was one of them.
the disease was caused by rat infestation,
No, there was no cure to the black plague in 1347. Doctors of that days were completely unable to find any cure of black plague. They tried to use different cures like- arsenic, cooked onion,crushed emeralds,sitting in the sewers etc. But those didn't work.
Antibiotics such as streptomycin, gentamicin, doxycycline, or ciprofloxacin are used to treat plague. Oxygen,intravenousfluids, and respiratory support usually are also needed...

They noticed the seriousness but they didn't have the medicine to cure it.
Priests didn't cure the plague. No one cured it. The plague began and ended with cure.
with antibotics if left untreated infected patients die
No you cannot cure it.
Black Death is an old name for the Plague, which is still around. Antibotics are used very successfully.
