Abstract excerpt
Foscarnet is currently licensed for the treatment of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection. Mutations proven to confer resistance to foscarnet have mostly been mapped to regions II, III and VI of the HCMV UL54-encoded DNA polymerase. We previously showed that sequential foscarnet-resistant HCMV isolates recovered from a patient with lymphoma had change N495K in region delta-C of the DNA polymerase. To evaluate...
