Whole-Genome Analysis of the Influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 Viruses Isolated from Influenza-like Illness Outpatients in Myanmar and Community-Acquired Oseltamivir-Resistant Strains Present from 2015 to 2019.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we describe the genetic characteristics of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 strains detected in Myanmar from 2015 to 2019. Whole genomes from 60 A(H1N1)pdm09 virus isolates were amplified using real-time polymerase chain reaction and successfully sequenced using the Illumina iSeq100 platforms. Eight individual phylogenetic trees were retrieved for each segment along with those of the World Health Organization (WHO)-recommended Southern Hemisphere vaccine strains for the respective years. A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses from 2015 were found to belong to clade 6B, those from 2016 to 6B.1, 2017 to 6B.1A, and 2019 to 6B.1A.5a, and were genetically distinct from the Southern Hemisphere vaccine strains for the respective seasons, A/California/7/2009 and A/Michigan/45/2015. We observed one virus with i
