a

Mean IC50 ± SD values were calculated from data collected from at least three independent experiments.

b

E, extreme; M, mild; O, oseltamivir (IC50 values of >7.47 nM); Z, zanamivir (IC50 values of >11.29 nM).

c

Boldface type indicates the mutation in the NA active site.

d

A 407-fold increase in IC50 to oseltamivir and a 29-fold increase in IC50 to zanamivir compared to the IC50 values of the matching virus B/Hong Kong/45/2005 (accession no. ISDN127249).

e

A 4-fold increase in IC50 to oseltamivir compared to that of the matching virus B/Illinois/47/2005 (accession no. CY15376).
