Abstract excerpt
Neuraminidase inhibitors (NAIs), including the most frequently prescribed oral therapeutic oseltamivir, play a critical role in the control of severe influenza virus (IFV) infections. However, recent reports of spread of an oseltamivir-resistant H1N1 pandemic strain in individuals who have never been exposed to oseltamivir highlight an urgent need for new antivirals against NAI-resistant IFVs. Difluorosialic...
