Abstract

Performing genetic manipulation is often key to understanding bacterial gene function. In this chapter, we present the method of allelic exchange using temperature-sensitive plasmids to generate mutations in Staphylococcus, including single-nucleotide mutations, insertions, and gene deletions. In addition, this chapter summarizes other key genetic technologies used for the manipulation of S. aureus, including the CRISPR/Cas9 system and complementation.
