High prevalence of amantadine resistance among circulating European porcine influenza A viruses Free

Abstract

Genetic analysis of the M2 sequence of European porcine influenza A viruses reveals a high prevalence of amantadine resistance due to the substitution of serine 31 by asparagine in all three circulating subtypes, H1N1, H3N2 and H1N2. The M segment of all resistant strains belongs to a single genetic lineage. Whereas the first amantadine-resistant porcine strain was isolated in 1989, isolation of the last amantadine-susceptible strain dates to 1987, suggesting a displacement of amantadine-susceptible viruses by resistant strains soon after emergence of the mutation. Analysis of natural selection by codon-based tests indicates negative selection of codons 30, 31 and 34 which confer amantadine resistance. The codons 2, 11–28 and 54 of porcine and human strains exhibit differences in the patterns of substitution rates, suggesting different selection modes. Transfer of amantadine resistance by exchange of the M segment and viability of recombinant A/WSN/33 viruses with avian-like M segments raises concerns about the emergence of natural human reassortants.
