Abstract excerpt
Influenza circulating during the 2014/15 season was associated with significant drift and the emergence of new H3N2 subgroups. It was also known that mutations were accumulating in the WHO-recommended amplification region of the M1 gene, affecting the performance of many commercial polymerase chain reaction assays. However, the prevalence of M1 target mutations was unknown. To investigate this, isolates from the...
