METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR IDENTIFYING ENTEROVIRUS
Certain embodiments of the invention include, but are not limited to PCR primer pairs, sequencing primers, and/or associated thermocycling protocols targeting a region identified by the inventors within the 5' untranslated region of enteroviruses for the purpose of identifying, subtyping, and/or classifying of virus in samples using nucleic acid sequencing. The sequencing procedures can use nucleic acid templates, such as cDNA or PCR amplicons, as a template for sequencing in medium to high throughput format that is cost effective and easily deployed to other clinical microbiology laboratories.
