Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an opportunistic pathogen that can be treated with ganciclovir. Mutations in the UL97 gene of CMV render the virus ganciclovir resistance. These include H520Q and C603W mutations, against which we developed a novel genotyping assay for their identification. METHODS: PCR reactions were performed to amplify fragments of the UL97 gene containing H520Q or C603W mutations....
