The superbug was detected in a sample from a previously healthy 28-year-old female patient, at Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
The mutant strain developed within two days of exposure to the drug. Doctors said less than one per cent of flu is currently resistant.
But they added clinicians should consider resistance when patients who are seriously ill with flu fail to respond to treatment for H1N1.
That's because the strain can evolve almost overnight.
Researchers noted that anti-viral drugs should be given only when necessary as they have limited benefit in mild infections.
Tan Tock Seng Hospital senior consultant in laboratory medicine Timothy Barkham said: "As with all antimicrobial medicines, we should not give patients anti-viral drugs unless it is really necessary, in order to preserve them for patients who really need them".
He noted that antivirals are likely to be most effective in severe flu but are of limited benefit in mild infections.
The research was supported by three A*STAR institutes: the Experimental Therapeutics Centre (ETC), the Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS), and the Bioinformatics Institute (BII).
ETC developed the method used to chart the evolution of drug resistance in the influenza virus, while GIS provided the technology to sequence the viral genome and BII compared the mutant to previous resistant strains to confirm its novelty.

Japan Tamiflu Resistance of new virus strain
[This article doesn't specify the "new virus" so I have to assume it is the A/H1N1]
2010.09.24
Influenza virus among those resistant to the drug Tamiflu, a drug approved for marketing Rapiakuta production in January this year (Peramibiru generic name: administered intravenous) may have also resistant to infectious disease research, National The study found places.
According to the Institute of Infectious Diseases, 75 shares of the new virus strain 6915 that were popular in the country last season (about 1.1%), but does not work seems to have been Tamiflu-resistant strains. 75 strains were examined, and there is also resistant to all Rapiakuta. Relenza treatment for another, without any shares of resistance has been observed effect of the medication.
Even the U.S. Centers for Disease Control survey, 6781, 64 new virus strains in the United States (about 0.9%) in Tamiflu resistance, and had also resistant to all Rapiakuta. Is seen as a mechanism similar to each other because the virus works.
The Bill Dana is a fourth flu drug will be released this fall, in clinical trials is reported as being effective Tamiflu-resistant strains.

20 Sep 2010 - 3:00 PDT
A recent study by researchers at the University of Utah determined that the 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) caused a higher rate of neurological complications in children than the seasonal flu. The most common complications observed were seizures and encephalopathy. Full details of the study, the most extensive evaluation of neurological complications following H1N1 flu in children, are published in the September issue of Annals of Neurology, a journal of the American Neurological Association.

Cambodia-Foot-and-mouth hits four provinces
FOOT-and-mouth disease is currently affecting cattle in four provinces following outbreaks earlier this month, agriculture officials said yesterday.
Hah Piseth, deputy director of the Ministry of Agriculture’s Department of Animal Health, said the disease was affecting cows in Kampong Cham, Kampong Chhnang, Kandal and Prey Veng provinces. He estimated that the number of cases was roughly the same as last year.
“The ministry has provided medicine to the [provincial] agriculture departments and now the situation has been improving because we have been able to save [some cows] in time,” he said.
Around 50 cows in Kampong Cham died from the disease at the beginning of the month, and around 1,000 others were affected with foot-and-mouth and other diseases, said Mao Bunthoeun, deputy chief of Peam Prothnuos commune, located in Koh Sotin district.
“Two cows that died on Sunday were sent downstream.... We are afraid that this will cause disease to people using the river water,” he said.
Hun Ly, deputy director of the Kampong Chhnang provincial animal health office, said he had ordered his staff to educate villagers about how to treat diseased cattle.
“This virus cannot survive in acid, so we recommend that villagers use sour sauces from lemon or tamarind to clean the mouth and nails of the cows twice a day,” he said. “This will cure the disease.”
But Mao Bunthoeun said farmers would be hampered by the outbreak, warning that it could affect animals needed for the upcoming rice harvest, expected in November.
“Cows that have been cured cannot work for two months, even though farmers will need them,” he said.
Som Sarin, 27, a villager from Rolea Pheaer district in Kampong Chhnang, said that the cost of treating diseased cows was too high, and complained that the animals could only be sold for half their normal value.
“Some villagers have called veterinarians, which costs them 15,000 riels (US$3.55) for each visit, but other people have been going to the forest to search for traditional medicine for their cows,” she said.
