a

The column reports the drug-resistance mutations identified for each antiviral drug. The virus in which the mutation has been identified is reported as subscript.

b

For each drug-resistance mutation, the corresponding residue in SARS-CoV-2 RdRp and 3CL-PR has been determined basing on homology of SARS-CoV-2 sequences with MHV and SARS-CoV-1 sequences.

c

The fold change in EC50 was calculated basing on the EC50 value of the mutant and EC50 value of wild-type reported in Reference #4.
