Abstract excerpt
Among the 7 most common UL97 mutations encountered in ganciclovir-resistant clinical cytomegalovirus isolates, the associated cyclopropavir cross-resistance varies from insignificant (L595S) to substantial (M460I and H520Q) as determined by recombinant phenotyping. Mutations M460I and H520Q were preferentially selected in vitro under cyclopropavir and conferred 12- to 20-fold increases in 50% effective...
