Detection of Molecular Markers of Drug Resistance in 2009 Pandemic Influenza A (H1N1) Viruses by Pyrosequencing
23 Dec 2009
Abstract excerpt
The M2 blockers amantadine and rimantadine and the neuraminidase (NA) inhibitors (NAIs) oseltamivir and zanamivir are approved by the FDA for use for the control of influenza A virus infections. The 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) viruses (H1N1pdm) are reassortants that acquired M and NA gene segments from a Eurasian adamantane-resistant swine influenza virus. NAI resistance in the H1N1pdm viruses has been rare,...
