Emergence of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 6B.1A.5a.2a and 6B.1A.5a.2a.1 subclades leading to subtyping failure in a commercial molecular assay
Background
During the 2023–2024 and early 2024–2025 influenza seasons, several influenza A-positive specimens in our laboratory failed subtyping for H1, H1pdm09, and H3 using the Allplex Respiratory Panel 1 (Allplex RP1) (Seegene Inc.). This study aimed to identify the cause of these subtyping failures.
Materials and methods
Between August 2023 and December 2024, 23 nasopharyngeal specimens tested positive for influenza A but were unsubtypeable for H1, H1pdm09, and H3. Confirmatory testing by the manufacturer included target-specific PCR for the M and HA genes, followed by sequencing to determine subclades.
Results
Among the 23 unsubtypeable specimens, 22 yielded PCR products for sequencing. Of these, 21 belonged to subclade 6B.1A.5a.2a.1 and one to 6B.1A.5a.2a. Sequence analysis revealed mismatches in the H1pdm09 primer/probe-binding regions of Allplex RP1, explaining the subtyping failures. Despite testing negative for H1pdm09 in Allplex RP1, sequencing confirmed their classification as H1N1pdm09 subclades with HA gene mutations.
Conclusions
Subclades 6B.1A.5a.2a.1 and 6B.1A.5a.2a harbour mutations that contributed to subtyping failures in some specimens tested with a commercial assay. While unsubtypeable influenza A results often raise concerns about emerging strains, sequencing confirmed that all unsubtypeable specimens tested with Allplex RP1 belonged to H1N1pdm09 within recognised subclades. Thus, such subtyping failures in this assay do not necessarily indicate a novel or zoonotic virus, though genomic surveillance remains essential.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Clinical Virology, an esteemed international publication, serves as the official journal for both the Pan American Society for Clinical Virology and The European Society for Clinical Virology. Dedicated to advancing the understanding of human virology in clinical settings, the Journal of Clinical Virology focuses on disseminating research papers and reviews pertaining to the clinical aspects of virology. Its scope encompasses articles discussing diagnostic methodologies and virus-induced clinical conditions, with an emphasis on practicality and relevance to clinical practice.
The journal publishes on topics that include:
• new diagnostic technologies
• nucleic acid amplification and serologic testing
• targeted and metagenomic next-generation sequencing
• emerging pandemic viral threats
• respiratory viruses
• transplant viruses
• chronic viral infections
• cancer-associated viruses
• gastrointestinal viruses
• central nervous system viruses
• one health (excludes animal health)
