Laboratory techniques for transformation of the pathogenic Neisseria are well developed, and take advantage of the natural transformability of these species. More recently, these techniques have been successfully applied to some nonpathogenic species of Neisseria as well. This chapter provides foundational information on the mechanism of Neisseria transformation, considerations for DNA transformation substrate design, two methods for transforming Neisseria in the laboratory, and guidelines for identifying successful transformants.
