Abstract excerpt
Resistance to protease inhibitors (PI) is generally due to a mutation in the protease gene. Different changes have been described for each PI. The I 50L mutation is characteristic of resistance to atazanavir (ATV). It does not produce cross resistance to other PI; but it does increase susceptibility to all of them (hypersusceptibility). When PI are given concomitantly with low doses of ritonavir, the exposure to...
