Abstract excerpt
The evolution of hepatitis-B virus (HBV) drug resistance is characterized by the emergence of resistance conferring mutations and compensatory mutations. Therefore HBV drug-resistant isolates often harbor multiple mutations in the reverse transcriptase (RT) and corresponding mutations in the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). In this study mutational patterns of 60 HBV isolates harboring drug resistance...
