Detection of adamantane-sensitive influenza A(H3N2) viruses in Australia, 2017: a cause for hope?
نویسندگان
چکیده
For over a decade virtually all A(H3N2) influenza viruses have been resistant to the adamantane class of antivirals. However, during the 2017 influenza season in Australia, 15/461 (3.3%) adamantane-sensitive A(H3N2) viruses encoding serine at residue 31 of the M2 protein were detected, more than the total number identified globally during the last 6 years. A return to wide circulation of adamantane-sensitive A(H3N2) viruses would revive the option of using these drugs for treatment and prophylaxis.

Background and Objective: Adamantanes, amantadine, and rimantadine have been used for many years for prevention and treatment of influenza virus A infections. These drugs are influenza virus M2 protein inhibitors and some amino acids substitutions in transmembrane portion of this protein cause resistance to them. This study was done for survey of adamantane resistance related nucleotide sequenc...

Background: Currently, with increasing risk of influenza A virus epidemics, a lot of studies have been performed. Oseltamivir or Tamiflu (the neuraminidase (NA) inhibitor) is one of the effective drugs for preventing and treatment of these viruses. The H274Y mutation is from the most important drug resistant factors in influenza A viruses. The aim of this study was detection of Oseltamivir...

BACKGROUND Adamantanes resistance in H3N2 viruses has been increasing since 2000, and in 2005-2006 reached nearly 100% in most countries, with the circulation of the N-lineage. In 2006-2007, however, a significant decrease in resistance was observed in many regions. OBJECTIVES To explore potential links between adamantane resistance and the A(H3N2) viruses that circulated between 2006 and 200...

Background: Influenza viruses are one of the most important etiological agents of res-piratory disease in humans and cause epidemics and pandemics with substantial mor-bidity and mortality worldwide. Vaccination and antiviral treatments are the sole and essential way for the prevention and control of influenza infection. During an influenza epidemic before the production of effective vaccine, a...
