Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) drug-resistance remains of high clinical importance. While UL97-mutations can confer ganciclovir-resistance, UL54-mutations can be associated with resistance to ganciclovir, foscarnet and/or cidofovir. OBJECTIVE: Three UL97-mutations (A619V, P468Q, del597-599), three UL54-mutations (V715A, A492D, L516W) and two UL97/UL54-mutation combinations (A594TUL97+V715MUL54;...
