Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Letermovir, an inhibitor of unique long (UL)56-encoded cytomegalovirus (CMV)-terminase, shows prophylactic effects with low-grade adverse events in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients. Despite few case reports on acquired letermovir resistance, the frequency of de novo amino acid (A.A.) changes encoded by UL56 in CMV-infected tissues is unclear. METHODS: We analyzed CMV UL56 sequences...
