Abstract
In the last few decades, molecular techniques and genetic modification have been used in genotype and phenotype studies of S. suis. Genomic modification of S. suis requires DNA acquisition and its stable insertion into the chromosome by allelic exchange. In this chapter, we described two techniques for the preparation of genomic constructs (cloning and overlapping extension PCR) and for DNA uptake (electroporation and transformation). The protocols are accompanied with examples. All described protocols were successful on our hands with the reference S. suis strain P1/7.
