US health officials are stepping up testing
of swine flu cases for Tamiflu resistance
now that an American has come down with a resistant strain

patients in Denmark and Japan
had been taking Tamiflu as a preventive measure
after coming into contact with someone with swine flu

they don't have a complete understanding of what's going on
The samples tested for resistance
represent just a tiny fraction
of the more than 1 million swine flu cases
estimated to have occurred in the United States
since the virus was first detected in April
