Abstract excerpt
Two potent integrase inhibitors (IN-Is), raltegravir (RAL, MK-0518) and elvitegravir (EGV, GS-9137), have been shown to be potent inhibitors for HIV-1 and resistance mutations have been identified in HIV-1 clinical trials. In this study, sequences from 11 HIV-2 patients were examined for IN polymorphisms. The primary mutations associated with RAL and EGV resistance were not detected despite the genetic...
