Abstract excerpt
We performed the genotyping and phylogenetic analysis of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) isolated from 17 infants with bronchiolitis in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan in 2005 and 2006. The major genes in these samples (attachment [G] glycoprotein gene, fusion [F] protein gene, and nucleoprotein [N] gene) were sequenced and analyzed genetically. Phylogenetic analysis of these genes revealed that 7 and 10 strains...
