Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The thymidine kinase (TK) and DNA polymerase (pol) genes of herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) and type-2 (HSV-2) are important targets for genotypic determination of HSV resistance to antiviral drugs. The knowledge of gene polymorphism is an absolute requirement for the correct interpretation of genotypic findings. METHODS: In this study, the natural polymorphism of TK and DNA pol genes was examined...
