Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have shown that amino acid changes in the hemagglutinin (HA) gene of influenza viruses may result in decreased susceptibility to neuraminidase inhibitors (NAIs) in vitro. However, the emergence and characteristics of such HA variants in the clinical setting remain poorly studied. Herein, we report 2 influenza A(H3N2) isolates, from untreated patients, harboring an Arg229-->Ile substitution in the...
