Abstract excerpt
Genotypic drug resistance interpretation algorithms have been developed on patients infected with HIV-1 subtype B to interpret complex patterns of mutations. As non-B strains are characterised by the natural presence of several resistance-related mutations, we examined to what extent this might result in interalgorithm discordances in naive and treated patients. We compared the prediction by three algorithms...
