The multiplex PCR assay’s specificity was examined using PCR mixes containing all two-primer pairs and a single template (cDNA/DNA) from the positive controls. Lane 1: standard 100-bp DNA ladder marker. Lane 2: the mixture of enterovirus (440 bp) and HSV (292 bp) positive controls. Lane 3: enterovirus (440 bp), Lane 4: HSV (292 bp), Lane 5: negative control (E. coli)
