The enterovirus genus currently consists of 13 species (Enterovirus A-J and Rhinovirus A-C) , with potentially new species having being identified . These species have been associated with mild and serious disease , which include the common cold and poliomyelitis , respectively. Furthermore, due to symptom similarities, patient pressures and fear of inaccurate clinical evaluation, enterovirus infections are often clinically evaluated as serious bacterial infections. Bacterial infections, unlike enteroviral infections, can be effectively treated with antibiotics , however, if they are left untreated, they can ultimately become lifethreatening . As a result, antibiotics are overprescribed and have contributed to the rise of antimicrobial resistance, which is associated with both long-term medical and economic uncertainty . Therefore, an improved understanding of infectious organisms and their detection could enhance therapeutics that effectively cure and alleviate the symptoms of disease.
