BACKGROUND: In vitro selection experiments identified viruses resistant to integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) carrying mutations in the G-tract (six guanosines) of the 3'-polypurine tract (3'-PPT). A clinical study also reported that mutations in the 3'-PPT were observed in a patient receiving dolutegravir monotherapy. However, recombinant viruses with the 3'-PPT mutations that were found in the...
