BK Polyomavirus Subtypes IVc-1 and Ib-1 in Vietnamese Renal Transplant Recipients.

We report here the nearly complete genome sequences of two human BK polyomavirus (BKV) strains recovered from two Vietnamese renal allograft recipients and belonging to subtypes IVc1 (strain VN_PBK185) and Ib1 (strain VN_PBK212). The genome sequences of VN_PBK185 and VN_PBK212 were highly similar (99.9% nucleotide identity) to the reference BKV strains VNM-1 and VNM-9, respectively.
