Abstract excerpt
Emergence of drug resistance is rare after use of letermovir (LMV) as prophylaxis for post-transplant cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. In a recent study involving renal transplant recipients, no known LMV resistance mutations were detected in those receiving LMV prophylaxis. However, uncharacterized viral amino acid substitutions were detected in LMV recipients by deep sequencing in viral subpopulations of 5%-7%,...
