The genomes of Acinetobacter baumannii tell us stories about horizontal gene transfer (HGT) events that steadily drive the evolution of this nosocomial pathogen toward multidrug resistance. Natural transformation competence constitutes one of the several possible pathways that mediate HGT in A. baumannii. Here, we describe and discuss the methods for studying DNA uptake in A. baumannii via natural transformation.
