The recombinant plasmid was constructed as enterovirus DNA standard by cloning poliovirus cDNA into a pMD18-T vector. The real-time RT-PCR method utilizing SYBR Green I was optimized. As a result of a series of examinations, the detection limit of the method was found to be 2.31 genome equivalent copy （GEC）/μL, the intraand inter-assay variations were lower than 2% and 5%, respectively, and enteroviruses were well distinguished from other microorganisms. There was a good linear relationship （r 2 = 0.997） between the logarithm of viral density and cycle threshold in a wide range of 2.31 × 10 0 to 2.31 × 10 9 GEC/μL. The validity of the method was further proved by its application for the detection of enteroviruses from various practical water samples.展开更多
