Klebsiella pneumoniaeis a Gram‐negative, rod‐shaped bacterium commonly found in the human intestine. Although it typically exists as part of the normal flora, it can also cause healthcare‐associated infections with severe consequences. Understanding the specific genes responsible for its virulence through genetic manipulation is crucial for potential therapeutic interventions. However, manipulatingK. pneumoniaepresents challenges due to its exopolysaccharide capsule. This article presents a comprehensive collection of protocols designed to facilitate the genetic manipulation ofK. pneumoniae. By following these protocols, researchers will acquire the necessary skills to prepare electrocompetent cells, utilize electroporation for efficient plasmid DNA introduction, construct isogenic mutants using the λ Red recombinase system, and generate a complementation vector for restoring the phenotypic traits of knockout strains. These protocols provide valuable tools and techniques to navigate the intricacies associated with studying and modifyingK. pneumoniae. © 2023 The Authors.
