Abstract excerpt
The emergence of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 resistance to raltegravir, an integrase strand transfer inhibitor, follows distinct and independent genetic pathways, among which the N155H and Q148HKR pathways are the most frequently encountered in treated patients. After prolonged viral escape, mutants of the N155H pathway are replaced by mutants of the Q148HKR pathway. We have examined the mechanisms...
