Abstract Like the histidine-to-tyrosine substitution at position 274 in neuraminidase (NA H274Y), an asparagine-to-serine mutation at position 294 in this protein (NA N294S) confers oseltamivir resistance to highly pathogenic H5N1 influenza A viruses. However, unlike viruses with the NA H274Y mutation, the properties of viruses possessing NA N294S are not well understood. Here, we assessed the effect of the NA N294S substitution on the replication and pathogenicity of human H5N1 viruses and on the efficacy of the NA inhibitors oseltamivir and zanamivir in mouse and ferret models. Although NA N294S-possessing H5N1 viruses were attenuated in mice and ferrets compared to their oseltamivir-sensitive counterparts, one of the infected ferrets died from systemic infection, demonstrating the potential lethality in ferrets of oseltamivir-resistant H5N1 viruses with the NA N294S substitution. The efficacy of oseltamivir, but not that of zanamivir, against an NA N294S-possessing virus was substantially impaired both in ferrets and in vitro. These results demonstrate the considerable pathogenicity of NA N294S substitution-possessing H5N1 viruses and underscore the importance of monitoring the emergence of the NA N294S mutation in circulating H5N1 viruses.

Basic Characteristics of Mutations
  • Mutation Site: The specific location in a gene or protein sequence where a change occurs.
  • Mutation Level: The level at which a mutation occurs, including the nucleotide or amino acid level.
  • Mutation Type: The nature of the mutation, such as missense mutation, nonsense mutation, synonymous mutation, etc.
  • Gene/Protein/Region: Refers to the specific region of the virus where the mutation occurs. Including viral genes, viral proteins, or a specific viral genome region. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main
