Abstract excerpt
Drug resistance is a crucial problem emerging frequently during treatment of hepatitis B, resulting in treatment failure and progression of liver damage. A direct sequencing method based on a nested PCR was established to detect mutations in samples with low viral load. Primers were designed to o...
