Pyrosequencing as a tool to detect molecular markers of resistance to neuraminidase inhibitors in seasonal influenza A viruses.

TLDR
A pyrosequencing assay for detection of the most commonly reported mutations associated with resistance to NAIs, a newer class of anti-influenza drugs, and designed primers to detect substitutions at D151 in NAs of N1 and N2 subtypes.

Infections With Oseltamivir-Resistant Influenza A(H1N1) Virus in the United States

TL;DR: Oseltamivir-resistant A(H1N1) viruses circulated widely in the United States during the 2007-2008 influenza season, appeared to be unrelated to oseltAMivir use, and appeared to cause illness similar to oselstamIVir-susceptible A( H1N 1) viruses.

Emergence and spread of oseltamivir-resistant A(H1N1) influenza viruses in Oceania, South East Asia and South Africa.

TL;DR: Examination of 264 A(H1N1) viruses collected in 2008 from South Africa, Oceania and SE Asia for their susceptibility to NAIs oseltamivir, zanamvir and peramivIR in a fluorescence-based neuraminidase inhibition assay found H274Y mutant viruses demonstrated on average a 1466-fold reduction in oselTamivirs susceptibility and 527-fold reduced in peramavir sensitivity compared to wild-

Inhibitory effects of quercetin 3-rhamnoside on influenza A virus replication.

TL;DR: In this study, the anti-influenza A/WS/33 virus of quercetin 3-rhamnoside from Houttuynia cordata was evaluated using a cytopathic effect (CPE) reduction method, and the assay results demonstrated that Q3R possessed strong anti- influenza virus reducing the formation of a visible CPE.

In vitro antiviral activity of favipiravir (T-705) against drug-resistant influenza and 2009 A(H1N1) viruses.

TL;DR: Favipiravir inhibits in vitro replication of a wide range of influenza viruses, including those resistant to currently available drugs, including viruses which are resistant to the currently licensed anti-influenza drugs.

Oseltamivir Resistance during Treatment of Influenza A (H5N1) Infection

TL;DR: It is suggested that resistance can emerge during the currently recommended regimen of oseltamivir therapy and may be associated with clinical deterioration and that the strategy for the treatment of influenza A (H5N1) virus infection should include additional antiviral agents.

Resistant influenza A viruses in children treated with oseltamivir: descriptive study

TL;DR: Sensitivity testing to oseltamivir carboxylate revealed that the neuraminidases of viruses that have an Arg292Lys, Glu119Val, or Asn294Ser mutation were about 10(4)-10(5)-fold, 500-fold, or 300-fold more resistant than their pretreatment neuraminIDases, respectively.

The structure of H5N1 avian influenza neuraminidase suggests new opportunities for drug design

TL;DR: It may be possible to exploit the size and location of the group-1 cavity to develop new anti-influenza drugs, according to X-ray crystallography, which shows that these two groups of neuraminidases are structurally distinct.
Journal ArticleDOI

Avian flu: isolation of drug-resistant H5N1 virus.

TL;DR: The isolation of an H5N1 virus from a Vietnamese girl that is resistant to the drug oseltamivir, which is an inhibitor of the viral enzyme neuraminidase and is currently used for protection against and treatment of influenza is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Incidence of adamantane resistance among influenza A (H3N2) viruses isolated worldwide from 1994 to 2005: a cause for concern

TL;DR: The authors' data raise concerns about the appropriate use of adamantanes and draw attention to the importance of tracking the emergence and spread of drug-resistant influenza A viruses.
