An impedance-based DNA multiplexed biosensor was designed to simultaneously detect Escherichia coli (yaiO gene) and its virulent f17 variant. The thiolated DNA dual probe was self-assembled onto the surface of the gold nanoparticle-modified screen-printed carbon electrode (AuNPs/SPCE) to recognize selected
