Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, treatment failure is generally associated with the selection of resistance-associated substitutions (RAS) conferring reduced susceptibility to direct-acting antiviral (DAA) drugs. Resistant variants continue to replicate after the end of treatment with potential for transmission. This may result from the selection of "fitness-associated substitutions". AIM: To...
