Reduced sensitivity of influenza A (H5N1) to oseltamivir.

TLDR
All viruses demonstrated similar sensitivity to zanamivir, but compared to the 2004 clade 1 viruses, the Cambodian 2005 viruses were 6-fold less sensitive and the Indonesian clade 2 viruses were up to 30-fold more sensitive to oseltamiviral.
Abstract
We tested the neuraminidase drug sensitivity of clade 1 and clade 2 influenza A virus (H5N1). All viruses demonstrated similar sensitivity to zanamivir, but compared to the 2004 clade 1 viruses, the Cambodian 2005 viruses were 6-fold less sensitive and the Indonesian clade 2 viruses were up to 30-fold less sensitive to oseltamivir.

Crystal structures of oseltamivir-resistant influenza virus neuraminidase mutants.

TL;DR: The enzymatic properties and crystal structures of neuraminidase mutants from H5N1-infected patients are reported that explain the molecular basis of resistance and indicate that it would be prudent for pandemic stockpiles of oseltamivir to be augmented by additional antiviral drugs, including zanamivIR.

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.

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.

Emergence and predominance of an H5N1 influenza variant in China

TL;DR: Genetic and antigenic analyses revealed the emergence and predominance of a previously uncharacterized H5N1 virus sublineage (Fujian-like) in poultry since late 2005, resulting in a new transmission and outbreak wave in Southeast Asia.
