Oseltamivir- and amantadine-resistant influenza viruses A (H1N1)

Emerg Infect Dis. 2009 Jun;15(6):966-8. doi: 10.3201/eid1506.081357.

Abstract

Surveillance of amantadine and oseltamivir resistance among influenza viruses was begun in Hong Kong in 2006. In 2008, while both A/Brisbane/59/2007-like and A/Hong Kong/2652/2006-like viruses (H1N1) were cocirculating, we detected amantadine and oseltamivir resistance among A/Hong Kong/2652/2006-like viruses (H1N1), caused by genetic reassortment or spontaneous mutation.
