Determination of Oseltamivir Resistance Level by an H275Y Genotyping Assay among Influenza A (H1N1) Viruses in Hamadan Province, Iran
Introduction: Epidemics and deaths caused by influenza viruses are an important concern worldwide. The use of neuraminidase inhibitors such as oseltamivir is an effective and valuable way to treat the diseases caused by these viruses. However, the mutation in several parts of the gene leads to the emergence of drug-resistant strains, and an ever-increasing rise in drug-resistant strains is a gl...
متن کاملCharacterization of Oseltamivir-Resistant 2009 H1N1 Pandemic Influenza A Viruses
Influenza viruses resistant to antiviral drugs emerge frequently. Not surprisingly, the widespread treatment in many countries of patients infected with 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) viruses with the neuraminidase (NA) inhibitors oseltamivir and zanamivir has led to the emergence of pandemic strains resistant to these drugs. Sporadic cases of pandemic influenza have been associated with muta...
متن کاملOseltamivir-resistant influenza A(H1N1) pdm09 virus: first reported case from India.
BACKGROUND Recent studies on antiviral susceptibiliy from South-East Asia, Europe and the United States have shown sporadic neuraminidase inhibitor (NAI) resistance in A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses. We undertook a study to evaluate NAI resistance in these viruses isolated in India. METHODS Pandemic influenza viruses, isolated from 2009 to 2013, along with clincal samples were genetically analysed for ...

BACKGROUND Oseltamivir resistance in A(H1N1)pdm09 influenza is rare, particularly in untreated community cases. Sustained community transmission has not previously been reported. METHODS Influenza specimens from the Asia-Pacific region were collected through sentinel surveillance, hospital, and general practitioner networks. Clinical and epidemiological information was collected on patients i...
متن کاملSpread of Influenza A(H1N1) oseltamivir-resistant viruses in Africa in 2008 confirmed by multiple introductions in Senegal
BACKGROUND Among Influenza neuraminidase inhibitors (NAIs), oseltamivir corresponds to the most widely used agent to treat influenza disease. However since 2001, several cases of resistance to NAIs have been reported for circulating seasonal A(H1N1) Influenza viruses. A direct resistance mechanism may be invoked, involving critical mutations in the viral NA gene that prevent the drug binding to...
