Abstract excerpt
Point mutations and inserts in the beta3-beta4 region of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase (RT) are associated with resistance to nucleoside analog inhibitors. This report describes HIV-1 strains from seven patients that were found to have a 3-bp deletion in the beta3-beta4 region of the RT gene. These patient strains also had a mean of 6.2 drug resistance-associated mutations in...
