The limited availability of approved influenza virus antivirals highlights the importance of studying the fitness and transmissibility of drug-resistant viruses. S247N is a novel, naturally occurring N1 neuraminidase mutation that reduces oseltamivir sensitivity and greatly potentiates oseltamivir resistance in the context of the H275Y mutation. Here we show that highly oseltamivir-resistant viruses containing both the S247N and H275Y mutations transmit efficiently in the guinea pig transmission model.
有限供应的批准流感病毒抗病毒药物突出表明研究耐药病毒的适应性和传染性的重要性。S247N 是一种新型的、天然存在的 N1 神经氨酸酶突变,可降低奥司他韦的敏感性,并在 H275Y 突变的情况下大大增强奥司他韦的耐药性。在这里,我们表明含有 S247N 和 H275Y 突变的高度奥司他韦耐药病毒在豚鼠传播模型中有效地传播。
