If you transform bacteria with a plasmid containing a selection marker (such as an antibiotic resistance gene) and plate the transformed bacteria on a plate suited for selecting for plasmid-containing bacteria (such as a plate containing an antibiotic that only those bacteria with antibiotic resistance can survive), then simply inspecting whether colonies are present on the plate will suffice in determining whether the transformation succeeded. If no colonies are found, that means no bacteria got the antibiotic resistance gene on the plasmid and the transformation was unsuccessful. If some colonies are found, that means some bacteria contain the plamis containing the antibiotic resistance gene and those colonies can the transformation was successful.
