Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: : Resistance to raltegravir is associated with three genetic pathways defined by the mutations Y143R/C, Q148H/R/K or N155H in integrase, which also infer a viral fitness cost. Additionally, the three major HIV-1 drug-targeted enzymes protease, reverse transcriptase and integrase mature from the same polyprotein, suggesting the potential for interaction between them. This study aims to elucidate the...
