*M, matrix protein; NP, nucleoprotein; NS, nonstructural protein; PA, polymerase A; PB, polymerase B.
†Of the 138 oseltamivir-sensitive pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus samples, I435V and K660R (boldface) were observed from 32 and 12 isolates, respectively. These changes would sporadically occur in both pandemic (H1N1) 2009 isolate types.
‡Lys (K) at position 103 in M1 protein, consensus amino acid among the oseltamivir-resistant pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus, was replaced with Arg (R).
