The K65R Mutation in HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase: Genetic Barriers, Resistance Profile and Clinical Implications
30 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
Resistance to antiviral therapy is the limiting factor in the successful management of HIV. In general, the K65R mutation is rarely selected (1.7-4%) with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), abacavir (ABC), didanosine (ddI), and stavudine (d4T), as compared with the high incidence (>40%) of thymidine analog mutations associated with zidovudine and d4T. The high barrier to the development of K65R may reflect a...
