U.S. study finds that H7N9 bird flu virus has been mutated to have drug resistance

According to recent reports from international media, a U.S. study has revealed that the H7N9 bird flu virus has undergone mutations, showing resistance to commonly used antiviral medications. Importantly, the virus’s ability to transmit between humans has not decreased, raising concerns among health experts. The research was recently published in Nature News by scientists from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City.

The study found that the mutated H7N9 strain is resistant to two widely used drugs—Tamiflu and Peramivir—and shows partial resistance to a third drug, Relenza. While this doesn’t necessarily mean the virus is more likely to cause a large-scale human outbreak, the researchers emphasize that doctors should be more cautious when prescribing antiviral treatments. They recommend using Lexar, developed by GlaxoSmithKline, as a safer alternative when possible, especially in cases where resistance is suspected.

Meanwhile, another U.S.-based research team has also noted that the H7N9 virus has not yet acquired the genetic changes necessary for efficient human-to-human transmission. Currently, it does not pose a significant risk of rapid spread among people. However, they caution that the virus still represents a potential public health threat and must be closely monitored. Experts stress that while the current situation isn't alarming, continued vigilance is essential to prevent future outbreaks.

With global health organizations tracking the evolution of the H7N9 strain, the findings highlight the importance of ongoing research and preparedness. As new mutations emerge, understanding their implications becomes critical in developing effective strategies to protect public health.
