In this Critical Review, José M. Pingarrón, María Pedrero and Susana Campuzano from the University Complutense of Madrid review the use of DNA electrochemical sensors combined with PCR-amplification strategies for the detection of microorganisms. They show that PCR-amplified DNA hybridization electrochemical sensors exhibit a high sensitivity which is attributable not only to PCR-amplification but also to the detection approaches used.
