Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Drug-resistant cytomegalovirus causes major problems in immunocompromised patients and is due to mutations in the UL97-gene (phosphotransferase) and/or the UL54-gene (polymerase). OBJECTIVE: Three previously unknown UL97-mutations (E596D/Y and I610T), one UL54 single point mutation (D515E) and a UL54 triple mutation (D515E+L516M+I521T) were characterized for drug-resistance by marker transfer analysis...
