aThe results were determined by analysis of cloned sequences; + represents that nucleotide substitution at the variant site is detected and – represents that the nucleotide at the site is identical to the one of BJ01 reference sequence in all analyzed sequences.
bSARS, severe acute respiratory syndrome; SW, throat swab; PL, plasma; SP, sputum; ST, stool.
cThe numbers represent the ratio of reference to variant nucleotide detected at the site from the analyzed cloned sequences.
