Virus in Louisiana bird flu patient shows mutations that could increase transmissibility: CDC
Briefly

The changes observed were likely generated by replication of this virus in the patient with advanced disease rather than primarily transmitted at the time of infection.
Although concerning, and a reminder that A(H5N1) viruses can develop changes during the clinical course of a human infection, these changes would be more concerning if found in animal hosts or in early stages of infection.
