Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Diverse mutations in the cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA polymerase (pol) gene confer resistance to one or more of the antiviral drugs ganciclovir, foscarnet or cidofovir. The levels of resistance conferred by specific mutations are variable, ranging from insignificant resistance to triple-drug resistance. OBJECTIVES: Three pol mutations, I521T, P522A and P522L, detected in patients who received antiviral...
