The above comments from the latest report from the UK confirm that H1N1 isolates this season will be at or near 100% oseltamivir resistant in Europe and North America this season.
Earlier reports described 3/3 isolates from the UK with H274Y and 1/1 from Canada with H274Y. The high level of resistance was anticipated because of high levels in the southern hemisphere in 2008.
The presence of H274Y in 9 of 10 isolates in the UK this season suggest similar levels will be seen in many countries, including the US and Canada in North America.
