Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Nirmatrelvir-ritonavir (Paxlovid) and ensitrelvir are 3-chymotrypsin-like cysteine protease (3CLpro) inhibitors which have been approved for the treatment of COVID-19 in 2021 and 2022, respectively. Previous studies have identified 3CLpro mutations that are associated with reduced susceptibility to these antivirals. The aim of the current study was to estimate the global prevalence of 3CLpro...
