Abstract excerpt
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) resistance to antiviral drugs is a major drawback of repeated or long-duration treatment in immunocompromised patients. Resistance testing is usually performed by genotypic assays. For accurate interpretation of these assays, the role of new mutations in HCMV resistance has to be assessed. Two previously unknown UL54 single point mutations (D515Y and V787A) were characterized for...
