During April 2009?June 2010, thirty-seven (0.5%) of 6,740 pandemic (H1N1) 2009 viruses submitted to US surveillance systems were oseltamivir resistant. Most patients with oseltamivir-resistant infections were severely immunocompromised (76%) and had received oseltamivir before specimen collection (89%). No evidence was found for community circulation of resistant viruses; only 4 (unlinked) patients had no oseltamivir exposure.
