Abstract: Both clinical specimens presented the mutation
S31N in the
M2 gene associated with resistance to adamantanes and
H274Y in
NA gene associated with resistance to oseltamivir.
Conclusion: Both clinical specimens presented the mutation
S31N in the
M2 gene associated with resistance to adamantanes.
Discussion: Moreover, this isolate, and others collected over the summer in Hong Kong have a clade 2C
HA and
M2 which has
H274Y in
NA (both clade 2B and clade C) as well as
S31N on
M2, signaling additional exchanges of polymorphisms6 leading to the emergence of H1N1
