Australian experts are concerned about a new type of drug-resistant pandemic flu that is circulating in the community and could spread globally.
The swine flu strain has learned how to dodge the antiviral drug Tamiflu and is emerging outside of hospitals.
The team who have studied it say the virus is "fitter" than other drug-resistant strains and the world should be on alert for an outbreak.
UK experts say they have seen a handful of similar cases.
The UK's Health Protection Agency said it would be closely monitoring the situation.
