a The Expert Working Group on Antiviral Susceptibility for the World Health Organization Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System has not yet issued guidance regarding a threshold (fold change) for reporting phenotypic test results for baloxavir. Arbitrary threshold (˃ three-fold EC50) was used to list PA amino acid substitutions that confer reduced susceptibility to baloxavir.
b Fold change calculated by comparing EC50 of test virus to the reference value (e.g. control virus).
c Reverse genetically engineered Influenza A(H1N1) viruses, A/WSN/33 and A/Puerto Rico/8/34 were also tested.
d F36V in PA of influenza B virus.
e E120D in PA of influenza B virus.
