Adamantane Resistance in Seasonal Human Influenza A Viruses from Calgary, Alberta (January 2007 to August 2008) by Kanti Pabbaraju, Sallene Wong, Dmitri K Kits, Julie D Fox

“…Positive influenza A samples (221 original patient specimens and 34 isolates obtained by viral culture) were analyzed for changes in the critical amino acid residues of the M2 gene. The amplification and sequencing of regions that confer adamantane resistance directly from RNA extracts of clinical samples (without previous culture) makes this approach a fast and efficient process for monitoring resistance. …”
