BACKGROUND: T-705 (favipiravir) is a potent inhibitor of RNA-dependent RNA polymerases of influenza viruses and no favipiravir-resistant virus has been isolated. Poliovirus RNA polymerase has been well characterized and isolation of resistant virus was examined in poliovirus. METHODS: Susceptibility variants of poliovirus I (Sabin strain) were isolated during passages in the presence of favipiravir and...
