Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genotypic resistance testing of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) strains to antivirals is of high relevance in immunocompromised patients with VZV reactivations unresponsive to therapy. However, the knowledge on mutations associated with natural gene polymorphism or resistance is limited. OBJECTIVES: To examine the genotype of the thymidine kinase (TK) and DNA polymerase (pol) of unselected clinical VZV...
