Amplified electrochemical detection of mecA gene in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus based on target recycling amplification and isothermal strand-displacement polymerization reaction

A novel electrochemical biosensor was developed for ultrasensitive detection of mecA gene in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) by combining target recycling amplification strategy and isothermal strand-displacement polymerization reaction.
