Update: Drug Susceptibility of Swine-Origin Influenza A (H1N1)
Viruses, April 2009
As of April 28, 2009, viruses from 13 (20%) of 64 patients in the United States infected with swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) virus (S-OIV) have
been tested for resistance to antiviral medications.
To date, all tested viruses are resistant
to amantadine and rimantadine but are susceptible to oseltamivir and zanamivir. This report provides detailed information on the drug susceptibility
of the newly detected S-OIVs, which will aid
in making recommendations for treatment and prophylaxis for S-OIV infection and will contribute
to antiviral-resistance monitoring and diagnostic
test development.
