Altiok E, Taylan F, Yenen OS, Demirkeser G, Bozaci. Mutations in Influenza A Virus (H5N1) and Possible Limited Spread, Turkey, 2006. Emerg Infect Dis. 2008 Mar;14(3):491-2
We report mutations in influenza A virus (H5N1) strains associated with 2 outbreaks in Turkey. Four novel amino acid changes (Q447L, N556K, and R46K in RNA polymerase and S133A in hemagglutinin) were detected in virus isolates from 2 siblings who died.
