摘要

Environmental or source water samples and even finished drinking watersamples may contain virus particles detectable by molecular methods such asPCR and RT-PCR. These methods in conjunction with confirmatory analyses(e.g., nucleic acid hybridization or nucleotide sequencing) are useful indetermining the potential presence or absence of viruses in waters, even at verylow levels. However, these tests do not conclusively determine whether theviruses are infectious or non-infectious. The current standard method fordetection of infectious viruses in water samples or concentrates is cell culturewith two passages for confirmation of cytopathic effect (CPE). Viruses that donot cause CPE or have limited replication are not detected. Furthermore, theprocedure requires weeks and is costly. Evidence of replication in cell culturewithout repeated passage may be obtained by evaluation of infected cells for thepresence of viral nucleic acid; however, testing of dilutions is necessary todemonstrate replication. We have developed molecular methods to directlyconfirm replication or viability of positive-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses incell culture, regardless of their ability to produce CPE. Key enteric key viralpathogens with such nucleic acid include enteroviruses (coxsackieviruses andechoviruses and polioviruses), caliciviruses, hepatitis A and E viruses andastroviruses. During replication of these viruses, a complimentary negativestrand is made that is present primarily paired with the positive strands asreplicative intermediate RNAs in infected cells. Detection of the negative strandsor the double stranded replicative form RNA complexes containing positive andnegative strands is proof of viral replication. We have developed RT-PCRmethods to detect the negative strands or double-stranded forms of viral RNA inthe infected cultures using Coxsackievirus B3 as a model virus. Specific primerpairs for CVB3 were used for detection of the negative strand. With the use ofpanenterovirus primers for detection of the double-stranded forms, we havedemonstrated that as low as 4 infectious units can be detected within 24 hrs afterinfection. The methods we have developed offer great promise as rapid,sensitive, and specific approaches to the molecular detection of infectious humanenteric viruses in source water and drinking water supplies.
