Recently, more emphasis has been given to understand molecular genetics and the contribution of a gene in the disease process. In fact, increased understanding of bacterial pathogenesis and intracellular communication has revealed many potential strategies for development of novel agents to treat bacterial infection. Therefore, to study the function and the involvement of a particular gene in pathogenesis, the inactivation or interruption is very important. In this section, various methods leading to inactivation of the gene in Staphylococcus aureus will be discussed.
