CDC identifies anti-viral resistant H1N1 in
Delawarehttp://www.sussexcountian.com/newsnow/x ... stant-H1N1Quote:
To assist in disease surveillance, all states are asked to provide the CDC with randomly-selected samples for sub-typing to determine strains and susceptibility testing. Of 115 specimens from Delaware that the CDC tested, this was the only sample to demonstrate oseltamivir-resistance. CDC has tested a total of 1,540 specimens nationwide, with 15 found resistant.
"Given the rarity of antiviral resistance, increased testing is not recommended by the CDC at this time," DPH director Dr. Karyl Rattay said.
