Abstract excerpt
Prenatally acquired human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection is the most frequent viral infection of newborns in developed countries. Virostatic therapy is accompanied by side effects and stepwise emergence of resistant virus variants. Different genotypic approaches show limited sensitivity in detecting on-growing minor resistant virus populations. Here, we demonstrate the superiority of pyrosequencing for the...
