Abstract excerpt
The K65R mutation in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase (RT) is selected in vitro by many D-nucleoside analog RT inhibitors (NRTI) but has been rarely detected in treated patients. In recent clinical trials, the K65R mutation has emerged frequently in patients experiencing virologic failure on antiretroviral combinations that do not include 3'-azidothymidine (AZT). The reason for...
