Abstract excerpt
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) resistance to antivirals is a major problem in immunocompromised patients. Drug resistance is characterized by phenotypic testing or genotypic analysis of the phosphotransferase (UL97) and DNA polymerase (UL54) genes. However, genotypic assays require further characterization of unknown mutations in the drug resistance phenotype. Here, we describe a novel method for generating single...
