Abstract: Testing of viral RNA from both patients by pyrosequencing detected a mutation that results in a histidine-to-tyrosine substitution at position 275 (H275Y) in the neuraminidase, known to be associated with oseltamivir resistance.
Novel pandemic influenza A(H1N1) viruses are potently inhibited by DAS181, a sialidase fusion protein.
Discussion: The most common mutation conferring oseltamivir-resistance involves H274Y (H275Y in N1 numbering) substitution in the neuraminidase of viruses of N1 antigenic subtype (H1N1 and H5N1).
