%X Neuraminidase (NA) is one of the surface proteins of influenza A virus, which plays an important role in immunization against influenza infection and is recognized as an important therapeutic target. Genetic and antigenic changes and substitutions can influence the efficacy of vaccine and change viral sensitivity to NA inhibitors (NAIs). In this study, we performed phylogenetic and molecular analyses of NA changes in influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus, compared them with the corresponding vaccine strain, and examined drug resistance mutations in isolates from patients
