*A total of 31 unique substitutions were identified in 18 H9 isolates. Isolates 907 (PB1-F2, 82S), 8202 (NP-313Y), 10306 (PB1-F2 68I), 10897 (PB1375S), 13916 (PB1336I), and 13962(PB1-F2 66S/82R) contain unique substitution not seen in most isolates. Boldface indicates key amino acid substitutions implicated in mammalian transmission. NS, nonstructural; NP, nucleoprotein; PA and PB, polymerase genes; ND, analysis not done because sequences were not available.
†Amino acids: D, aspartic acid; E, glutamic acid; I, isoleucine; K, lysine; L, leucine; N, asparagine; R, arginine; S, serine; T, threonine; V, valine.
