Abstract During October 2010–July 2011, 1.0% of pandemic (H1N1) 2009 viruses in the
United States were oseltamivir resistant, compared with 0.5% during the 2009–10 influenza
season. Of resistant viruses from 2010–11 and 2009–10, 26% and 89%, respectively, were
from persons exposed to oseltamivir before specimen collection. Findings suggest limited
community transmission of oseltamivir-resistant virus.
