Abstract excerpt
HIV drug resistance (DR) testing using Sanger sequencing (SS) is limited by the inability of the method to identify low abundance drug resistance variants. The application of tagged pooled pyrosequencing (TPP) for HIV DR surveillance is described and the results compared with SS. HIV(+) serum specimens were genotyped using both SS and TPP. Surveillance drug resistance mutations were identified using SS and TPP...
