Abstract: of three or four viruses carrying out amino acid substitutions of V81I, V394I, D416G, A138T and Q64H.Conclusions As oseltamivir is key to preparedness for and treatment of pandemic H1N1, the potential for resistance to oseltamivir is an ongoing concern.Reassortment and, more likely, point mutations have the potential to create a strain of pandemic H1N1 against which we have a reduced number of treatment options.We expect to test more strains in the future to evaluate diffusion of other mutations related to oseltamivir resistance.
