TABLE 3.

Strain designation, amount of viral genomes, and HAV genotype in samples from patients with the indicated week of HAV diagnosis in Gothenburg^a

Patient strain designation	wk of diagnosis in 2013	No. of viral genomes/ml in patient sample	Genotype	Similar strain	wk detected in sewage
861-13	3	5.9 × 104	IB	Outbreak strain	9
Sewage strain w5			IB	Strain from Iraq	5
985-13	10, 11c	0.7 × 104	IB	Outbreak strain	7
2926-13	12	0.3 × 104	NDb	Could not be sequenced
6033-13	13	123 × 104	IA	Outbreak strain in Hungary/The Netherlands, 2012	Not found in sewage
8723-13	19	1 × 104	IB	Outbreak strain	7

^aThe designation, amount of viral genomes/ml sample, and genotypes of HAV in samples from patients with the indicated week for HAV diagnosis in Gothenburg are given, together with the genotype of one strain found only in sewage in week 5. In addition, the nucleotide similarity of the strains to other HAV strains is listed, along with the week when the strain was also found in sewage.

^bND, not determined.

^cLast week of sampling.
