Abstract
To assess the extent of susceptibility to the four most commonly used neuraminidase inhibitors (NAIs) in the viruses epidemic in the 2015-2016 influenza season in Japan, we measured the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of NAIs for influenza virus isolates and compared them with the results from the 2010-11 to 2014-15 influenza seasons. Viral isolation was done with specimens obtained prior to treatment, and the type and subtype of influenza was determined by RT-PCR using type- and subtype-specific primers. The IC50 was determined by a neuraminidase inhibition assay using a fluorescent substrate. Influenza viruses were isolated: 210 influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 (67.3%), 20 A(H3N2) (6.4%), and 82 B (26.3%), and for the Victoria and Yamagata lineages the numbers were 53 (64.6%) and 28 (34.1%), respectively, with one unknown. Two A(H1N1)pdm09 isolates showed a high IC50 for oseltamivir (130 and 150 nM). No isolate showed a very high IC50 for A(H3N2) or B. The ratios of geometric mean IC50 of the 2015-2016 influenza season to those of the 2010-2011 to 2014-2015 influenza seasons ranged from 0.62 to 1.78 for A(H1N1) pdm09. The range was 0.73-1.35 for A(H3N2) and 0.48-1.12 for B. No significant trend of increase or decrease in IC50 was found for any of the four NAIs. Although some isolates showed highly reduced sensitivity to oseltamivir among the A(H1N1)pdm09 isolates, the currently epidemic influenza A(H1N1)pdm09, A(H3N2), and B viruses are susceptible to all four NAIs, with no trend toward decreased sensitivity.
