Abstract excerpt
All currently recommended anti-retroviral therapy protocols employ reverse transcriptase inhibitors (RTIs). However, mutations within the reverse transcriptase (RT) domain can lead to resistance to these agents and treatment failure. The contribution of the fitness of drug-resistant species to the evolution of RTI resistance has not been elucidated despite its potential implications for therapeutic strategies. In...
