Abstract excerpt
The thymidine kinase (TK) and DNA polymerase (pol) genes of the herpes simplex viruses type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2) are two important genes involved in antiviral resistance. We investigated the genetic polymorphisms of the HSV-TK and pol genes in clinical isolates from Korean HSV-infected patients using next-generation sequencing (NGS) for the first time in Korea. A total of 81 HSV-1 and 47 HSV-2 isolates...
