The Global Trend of Drug Resistant Sites in Influenza A Virus Neuraminidase Protein from 2011 to 2020.

ABSTRACT: Influenza A virus (IAV) causes highly contagious respiratory disease worldwide, so prevention and control of IAV is extremely important. However, overuse of neuraminidase inhibitor (NAI) drugs leads to drug resistance. To explore the up-to-date geographical distribution and evolution of drug-resistant mutations (DRMs) in the NA protein of IAV, 81,492 near full-length NA sequences downloaded from NCBI and GISAID databases, including 34,481 H1N1 and 46,622 H3N2, were processed and analyzed. Our results showed the annual number of NA sequences from 2011 to 2019 continuously increased. Meanwhile, almost 85% of sequences were from developed countries in North America, Europe and Asia. Clustering analysis demonstrated H3N2 varied more than H1N1. Notably, H3N2 exhibited a higher frequency of DRMs
