Abstract excerpt
Letermovir is an investigational antiviral agent with a novel mechanism of action involving the viral terminase (pUL56). We evaluated the impact of the V236M mutation in the UL56 gene alone and in combination with the E756K mutation in the UL54 gene on drug susceptibility and viral replicative capacity of recombinant human cytomegalovirus. The double mutant exhibited at least borderline resistance to all...
