Abstract excerpt
Emtricitabine (FTC) and lamivudine (3TC) are cytosine nucleoside analogues approved for use in HIV-1 infection. Both compounds select for the M184V/I mutation resulting in high-level resistance. This study compared the phenotypic resistance profiles of FTC and 3TC. Both compounds were tested against clinical samples submitted for routine resistance testing (PhenoSense HIV assay). We evaluated 306 viruses with...
