Detection of HSV-1 variants highly resistant to the helicase–primase inhibitor BAY 57-1293 at high frequency in 2 of 10 recent clinical isolates of HSV-1
4 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: BAY 57-1293 is a helicase-primase inhibitor (HPI) from a new class of antivirals that are highly efficacious in herpes simplex virus (HSV)-1 animal infection models. Resistant mutants with point mutations in the helicase (UL5) were reported to be present in laboratory isolates at a low frequency of approximately 10(-6). In contrast, we have shown elsewhere that some laboratory isolates contain...
