Result: The analysis of mutations in the
Enh II,
PC and
BCP regions of the 10 samples revealed the following results: the mutation
G1613A was identified in two samples (20%), two samples (20%) had the mutation pair
A1762T/
G1764A and one sample carried both
G1896A and the
A1762T/
G1764A double mutation.
Discussion: The mutation pair
A1762T/
G1764A was found in three samples, with one sample concurrently showing the
BCP mutation
G1896A; this group of mutations abolished the secretion of
