Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Identification of human cytomegalovirus (CMV) genome variation is important for understanding mutations associated with drug resistance. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the CMV resistance to foscarnet (PFA) and ganciclovir (GCV) in patients treated with antiviral drugs and to identify the DNA polymerase (UL54) and phosphotransferase (UL97) gene mutations inducing resistance. STUDY DESIGN: Antiviral...
