A/Chicken/Vietnam/008/2004 0.7 (0.4)
A/Chicken/Cambodia/Kandal/23/2004 0.4 (0.2)

*IC50, drug concentration for 50% inhibition of enzyme activity; wt, wild type.
†Isolates were tested in duplicate in 2 separate assays. IC50s and standard errors (in parentheses) were calculated by using the nonlinear curve-fitting function in Sigmaplot (Systat Software Inc., London, UK).
