Hepatitis C virus (HCV) isolates from 126 hepatitis patients in Jakarta, Indonesia were genotyped by PCR with genotype-specific primers deduced from the HCV core gene. Fifty-five isolates (44%) were classified as genotype II/1b, 15 (12%) as 1c, 33 (26%) as III/2a, and 1 (1%) as V/3a, while the remaining 22 (17%) were not classifiable into any of the five common genotypes (I/1a, II/1b, III/2a, IV/2b and V/3a) or 1c. Sequences of a part of the NS5b region [1093 bp (nucleotides 8279-9371)] of the 22 isolates of unclassifiable genotype were subjected to pair-wise comparison and phylogenetic analysis along with those of 62 isolates of 25 genotypes in nine genetic groups. Seven of the isolates were classified into 2e and two into 2f, representing novel genotypes in genetic group 2, while ten and three were classified into two new genetic groups, 10 and 11, respectively, and their genotypes were provisionally designated 10a and 11a. The isolates of genotype 10a (JK049) and 11a (JK046) were sequenced in full. Comparison of 24 HCV genomes including those of JK049 and JK046, over the entire genome and subgenomic regions, supported the classification of HCV into 11 genetic groups.
